Another not super well-written book, but interesting enough (in the way that the trashy cover makes it look) to keep you going. Three tragic stories in this one. Spouse murder, and brutally done. I realized part-way through the first story that I'd already read this one. She has a few words she overuses and it gets distracting: barrage, myriad, etc. The vocab starts to wear you out, but the stories are like a train wreck. I just can't stop reading non-fiction crime.
I always enjoy true stories, no matter how gruesome and frustrating. It's amazing what some people can get by with, if only for a few to many, many years. I am always overwhelmed with the ones who are involved in these cases, and the special bond they have with the departed ones they are so tirelessly trying to find justice for. They literally end up knowing these people better than their closest friends and family at times.

this has been on my to-read pile for years, not knowing that it was a compilation of actual documented crime cases. It was written in great detail. However, there were instances when I was left wondering whether some of the dialogue were made more interesting by injecting some subjective comments or feelings by the author.
A collection of true crime stories that she has researched over the past years, about 5 cases that were very interesting to her.
After the first one or two short true-crime reads, they start sounding the same in this edition.

Peole you actually think are ok can be hiding deep secrets of hate.
Typical of all her other books - a good beach read
all about people that kill other people over greed and jealousy
Love all of her books.
This book is interesting, but I don't think that true crime books are really my thing. I am paranoid enough as it is! If you are a big CSI or Law and Order fan, then these are the books for you.

Ms. Rule does an excellent job of telling true crime stories in a way that is detailed, but not glorifying the events.
