Ann Rule's 2014 newest book: 'Lying in Wait & Other Cases'. People say Rule has lost her edge, but I found this one just like the old Rule. A couple of her newer ones felt too sympathetic to victim's families or just overworked, but the 6 or 7 cases in this book were very interesting. Just good old true crime writing in the reporting style.

Ann Rule is my favorite true crime writer! She carefully researches her subjects and presents a well rounded picture of the whole situation. Ann Rule has a special ability to bring even the most complex cases to the reader...making all the dramatic and chilling facts leap off the page. Her stories seem to say, "Reader beware...there are a lot of sociopaths out there!!"
