awesome read! i mean im sort of morbid i guess since i like to read true crime, but only because there is resolve and this book has several stories all with resolve (not justification mind you). there are 6 stories and ann rule does an excellent job of taking you to the times and places.

This is my very favorite book by Ann Rule (although, believe it or not, I have still never read her book about Ted Bundy ... but I'm going to add that to my "to-read" list right now!) Anyway, I just find this book compelling; something about the setting, the time period, the players; I just really liked this one, and have actually read it three times ...
Another Ann Rule-she is so talented and has just the right touch for telling victims stories with respect and reverance and accuracy!
So poorly written I couldn't finish it because the writing style was so frustrating juvenile.
This is a book of true cases of actual murders. People have very bizarre lives.
More in the crimes series. Short stories.
talk about just reading something to fill time.
I thought I'd read all of Ann Rule's Crime File books, but I missed this one. Picked it up at a library sale, and read it while laid up after surgery.
The main story is so disturbing, and so heartbreaking. Some of the mini-stories that follow are beyond disturbing, something straight out of a horror movie. I may have nightmares. I read enough true crime to realize there are horrifying things in the world, but two of these stories really did take the cake. Ye gods.

Kind of drawn-out
Love Ann Rule
it was an alright read but didn't enjoy it as much as 'stranger beside me' - I liked the fact the author had personal connection to the latter. The short cases at the end were interesting, think I would prefer that format than the long drawn out first case.
Well.... the main story was interesting and well developed. However, I did not like the other short stories at the end of the book such as "Mirror Images" and "Black Leather". I believe that each of those stories could have been turned into a 300 page book and Ms. Rule did not serve them justice.With all this said, it was an interesting book which I would recommend, just not the best I have read.
Her books are great, but sometimes a little weighty on the legal investigation part.
Not as gripping as some of her more famous books, but still a good read. The main story takes place in Yakima and the others are in Washington state too.
Book #37 read in 2009
This case wasn't as interesting as some of the others I've read from Rule,but I am glad that justice was done.

Ann Rule is the best True Crime writer. If you enjoy this genre...you will enjoy all her books.
I find it amazing what people are capable of!
Fascinating account of real-life crimes.
