A little disapointed. The last story (Minister's Wife) had alot more of Ann's opinions than I like. Other wise a good book.

I don't always like Anne Rule not becauce of her writing, but because of her subject matter. That said I really enjoyed this book. The stories were interesting and the last one about the minister's wife was right on.
We never know what goes on at our neighbor's house when they pull down the shades.

this book was another great read from true crime Ann Rule. I especially enjoy the short stories about each case. The shorter format is easier to read and to know that not all of the cases she reviews end with murder.

I love anything by Ann Rule so of course I loved her newest book too. The stories are interesting and fascinating. The last story is the Mary Winkler case (The Ministers Wife) and I learned facts about the case that I don't believe the media covered as in depth as they should of. If you like the true crime genre you will love this book!

Ann Rule's books are the best! She knows criminology, which has been her life's work, and she knows that area of which she writes. I always enjoy her books, and have ready every one!

Leading true crime author gives multiple case history stories of crimes all with the element of what is real and what is appearing to be real. Very readable!
