Cold-blooded kindness

Cold-Blooded Kindness delves into the complex case of Carole Alden, a mother of five who killed her husband, exploring themes of codependency, altruism, and the blurred lines between victimhood and manipulation.

The book challenges readers to question the nature of kindness and its potential to backfire, leading to harmful outcomes.

Oakley combines extensive research with interviews from experts and those involved in the case to present a nuanced discussion on psychiatric disorders and the legal system.
