OH MY GOD DON'T READ THIS WHEN IT'S DARK OUT.
*shudders*
(And definitely triggers for sexual assault and violence against women - I managed it just fine with a few episodes of skimming really fast, but I generally do okay with Ann Rule books. I think it's because she has such compassion for the victims and isn't nearly as graphic in her descriptions as she could be.)
I need a really fluffy book now.

I don't understand why I am drawn to these true crime books, but I am. Most of her stories go back to crimes from the 60s and 70s. This was not my first time reading her, and it won't be my last. I just don't broadcast this weakness (except on goodreads).

These were new stories of Ann Rule, for me. I had not read them. I don't know why I am interested in true crime sometimes. I guess because it shows human nature. And truth is stranger than fiction. I did enjoy this book.
Another anthology of killers well executed by Ms. Rule. Several of them I had read before in other books by her, but I found that I was as captivated by them the second time as I was the first time.
another good one by Rule..she has such a way of getting inside these people's heads, she must have nerves of steel
True crime. Ann Rule is a great writer but the stories she tells are true. They can break your heart.
Another Ann Rule masterpiece! Another example of the scary people in the world that appear fairly normal!
Another collection of interesting crimes/murders from the Washington state area from the 1960s-70s.
I love Ann Rule's inside look into her criminal files.
Eight true crime stories churned out like pulp fiction.
This book had a couple stories that were kind of blah and some I had already read, however the ones that were good, were great!
This was pretty good and kept me interested enough. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it as a True Crime book.
Ann Rule is the best True Crime writer. If you enjoy this genre...you will enjoy all her books.
Good. I like longer stories, though. These are usually about 20-50 pages per story. Good, though.
If you like watching crime shows, you'll like Rule's books.
