Ann Rule has a way with words, and her true crime novels are entertaining. Her page-turning style is hard to imitate. Although there is a large cast of characters, Rule adds enough details to mark each character with lots of definition.

This is the story of a dentist seeking riches who kills. He became obsessed with one woman and when she started to move away from him, she suddenly committed suicide. Fourteen years later, Bart Corbin's wife suddenly commits suicide (in the exact same way as years before). The police started looking into the previous case and noted the similarities.

This is engaging and readers will find it difficult to set it aside.
