Download As PDF : To Die For The Shocking True Story of Serial Killer Dana Sue Gray eBook Kathy Braidhill 
Impeccably dressed, meticulously neat, Dana Sue Gray spared no expense on herself. Dropping thousands of dollars on a shopping binge or a luxurious day spa was nothing out of the ordinary for Dana--nor for many wealthy women. But Dana wasn't wealthy--she was an unemployed nurse. She was also a serial murderess, who preyed upon elderly women, violently killed them, then used their credit cards to embark on wild, post-murder spending sprees.
Women serial killers are rare--there are only 36 documented cases--and those, like Dana Sue Gray, who murder so brutally that veteran police officers are shaken by the bloodiness of the crime scene, are even rarer. In To Die For, an exposé as shocking and fascinating as its subject matter, author Kathy Braidhill explores the stunning story of Dana Sue Gray, one of the most dangerous, deadly, and disturbed women in history.
To Die For The Shocking True Story of Serial Killer Dana Sue Gray eBook Kathy Braidhill
"To Die For" is the story of Dana Sue Gray, one of the few documented female serial killers. The tale offers neither a whodunit nor a mysterious police investigation. Dana's guilt is made obvious right on the book cover and she leaves a wide trail of evidence that can only implicate her. The junior homicide detective has little trouble finding Dana! The strengths of "TDF" lie elsewhere. For starters, we understand how she selfishly hurt her former husband and last boyfriend. She hurt her father. She devastated the relatives of the victims. It is left to the reader to decide if she ever hurt herself. This reader was shocked to watch as Dana descends from an athletic, intelligent, attractive, employed women (albeit one with an enormous "attitude") to an almost desperate murderess, killing to go on spending sprees for items she does not need. As a sidebar, this reader enjoyed the brief refernces to Police Department politics. Detective Greco had more problems with his "buddies" than with Dana! There are a few warning signs for potential readers:1) "TDF" is not linear but unusually structured, almost an inside-out story. 2)The police interrogation is far too long, given Dana's obvious guilt. 3) As ably mentioned by a reviewer above, Dana's back of the book decision to cop a plea is unexplained. "TDF" ends abruptly! Braidhill's work is for true crime devotees only. If one is not a convert, here is not the time and place to become one. (S)he is better advised to read an Ann Rule book or two before "TDF". Crime fans SHOULD give Braidhill a try. This unusual effort deserves a chance to succeed. 2 final thoughts for those who finished the tale: What if Dana had kept her nursing job and never been fired? Was the burden of unemployment too much? How would any of us react? Did this push Dana over the edge? I would not want Dana for a wife but if I were wheeled into an emergency room, I'd want Dana working on me. I bet she was a good nurse, if not exactly the girl next door.Product details

To Die For The Shocking True Story of Serial Killer Dana Sue Gray eBook Kathy Braidhill Reviews
Good book. Moves right along.
Ever wish you could reach into a book and throttle a character in it? I felt that way about Dana Sue Gray....particularly after she was captured and tried to pin her thievery on a 10 year old girl!
From what I read, I don't see where her childhood was any tougher than millions of other people. I am sick and tired of people trying to use a bad childhood as a justification for committing heinous crimes.
So your childhood was less than perfect.....well, build a bridge and get over it!
I've just re-read the book. I've read worse.
Braidhill's book is filled with interesting tidbits about Dana's life and terrible crimes, and it flows fairly well. I learned a lot about police interrogations too! But there are places where it could be better. I noticed LOTS of errors that should have been caught by an editor, but its still pretty good all-in-all. I only gave it 3 stars because its just not a page-turner, although I DID finish it so it couldn't be all that bad! Great for a distraction and to learn about serial killer's BIZARRE minds.
Dana Sue Gray's story reads like the horror version of an episode of Ayse Hogan's Maxed Out where she meets with spendthrifts and explores the psychological reasons behind their unnecessary indulgences. I got this secondhand for a penny and shipping to find out what the big deal was about although I am not a fan of gore. It turned out to be a lesson on consumerism and unnecessary shopping and putting one's own sense of entitlement over the rights of others so I got more than I expected. Even though the story was informative in that it gave some clues about kleptos and Dana Sue who killed to shop feeling shortchanged in their lives and making it up to themselves, I am still donating this when I am finished with it.
This would be okay as a library book or something to browse. I'm not sure I would recommend buying it. The writing is straightforward and the story is about a small mean person who is kind of mediocre. I have no idea why she felt it was okay to kill to be able to afford overordering cheesy (literally and with all due respect to the cuisine) Italian dishes from a restaurant in a MALL so she could get doggy bags. It's just so stupid that maybe THIS story should be a Lifetime for Women movie instead of another co-ed call girl or single mom meets sociopath story.
The real motive of her crimes was power over her victims but
"Spending money was one of the ways Dana Gray habitually dealt with the void of her unmet emotional deficits and narcissistic need to fulfill herself through possessions."
Excellent book! Great info about Dana Sue Gray's background & her criminal career.
Good reading about the incredible story of Dana Sue , the selfish, pschopathic killer and greedy shopiholic and thrill seeker.
I don't usually care for serial killer books but this one was very good! It is very sad, especially because of who her victims were. The author did a great job telling the story in a way that kept the reader interested and it was all easy to follow. I definitely recommend this book to those who enjoy true crime.
