Has anyone written a book about Spangler ? I might like to find out more about the case. I don't know why I become so obsessed with murder stories.

Not that I know of, I just saw it on one of the true crime shows. Believe me, this one will make you sick.
All that is in this post is based on my memory of a show I saw on TV. It is my opinion and I have no personal knowledge of the facts.
You know how he managed to kill his first wife easily? It was around Christmas, and he asked her to come downstairs to their furnished basement. He asked her to sit down at a desk there, a desk that had a typewriter on it. (It was in the 70's.) Then he told her he had an early Christmas surprise for her, and told her to close her eyes. She did, whereupon he aimed a gun at her temple and blew her brains out. He then typed out a suicide note, and signed it with the first three letters of her name, or her initials or something. He left the note in the typewriter in front of her body. The note included an "explanation" of "why she shot her two teenaged children."
Then he went upstairs and shot the girl, who was asleep. Then he went to the boy's room. The boy wasn't asleep so he shot him, but the boy moved and didn't die from it, so the man grabbed him, fought with him, and strangled him, leaving him lying half-off the end of the bed, head down.
The explanation was accepted and he remained free and was not charged with anything! The second wife "fell off a cliff" while they were hiking, in about 1991.
