I remember reading headlines about this case and listened to the true crime audiobook of Guilty Creatures: Sex, God, and Murder in Tallahassee, Florida, by Mikita Brottman. Narrated by Leon Nixon, this takes us through the entire story and held me captive.
On December 16, 2000, Denise's husband Mike disappeared while duck hunting on Lake Seminole on the border of Georgia and Florida. His body was never recovered.
The story that unfolds looks into the lives of Denise Williams and Brian Winchester, as well as their spouses. The four of them were friends in a tight-knit Baptist community in Tallahassee, Florida. Brottman did a wonderful job of laying out the story from backgrounds to facts as they were uncovered and how the truth finally came to light.
The author breaks down the whys of the crime, revealing what built up to Mike's disappearance and what happened in the aftermath of his death. The story she told was laid out in a compelling way that drew me in and shared facts I wasn't aware of. Religion, sex, and greed all played a role in this stranger than fiction case.
Fans of true crime will find the Guilty Creatures to be an engrossing tale. Leon Nixon narrates and enhances the overall tale by giving voice to the characters and setting the tone. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
