Blayne Alexander sits down with Andrea Canning to discuss her latest episode, “Book of Lies.” In 2023, Utah mother of three Kouri Richins appeared on a local talk show to promote a children’s book she’d written about grief after the sudden death of her husband, Eric. Weeks later, she was behind bars, accused of his murder. Prosecutors said Kouri had spiked Eric's cocktail with fentanyl she purchased from the family housekeeper. She went to trial earlier this year and was found guilty. Andrea talks to Blayne about the tensions between Kouri and her in-laws, and the testimony of Kouri’s former lover in court. Andrea shares a podcast-exclusive clip of her interview with the private investigator hired by Eric’s family, and she and Blayne discuss what it takes to be a successful PI. Later, Andrea is joined by Dateline producer Karen Israel to answer viewer and listener questions from social media.
