This is one of Ann Rule's best books, in my opinion. A true crime story that has a lot of players, love and money, and a murder gone cold. Ann Rule's books are always a good read and this book is no exception.

This is a typical Ann Rule book. Very well researched and very well written. A true story about a murder that takes place on Whidbey Island the the state of Washington. The book was very involved and had many characters. It took many years to finally figure out who might have done this, but the detective was ever diligent and kept on this case until it was finally solved. I enjoyed the book and anyone who is into true crime will enjoy it also.
Story of truly determined police work.
Wish I'd liked this better. The case was certainly both interesting and complex. There were some difficulties in sorting out people and relationships, but it did not account for why the writing was so awkward from such a pro as Rule. It just felt like the book was poorly edited and strangely organized. Events happened with no foreshadowing, others came after a bald statement in an unrelated chapter which foretold something between people we'd not yet met. The introductions of various lawmen were jarring. The sense of family relationships and interaction were off. For the first time in a Rule book I didn't honestly get a good sense of who the victim was in life. Disappointing but not a 'bad' book.
Excellent as usual with Ann Rule as the author! So sad that she has retired!
bought it for my kindle! i know it's going to be another great book!
