So it's weird. I have owned this book for a while, but never got around to reading it. I think it's because I watched this on a couple of television shows (Forensic Files and Murderous Affairs). So to read Ann Rule's insight into a couple that ended up in a toxic marriage that resulted in a fire tha...
Rule usually starts off her volumes with a longer case up front, and shorter cases towards the end. I thought that this one read as filler honestly. She just seemed to find out stories concerning wives that she could write about. There are not a lot of satisfactory stories in this one. The Deputy's...
Definitely did not care for most of the stories in this volume. The Sea Captain (3 stars)-I really didn't like this one at all. It is one of the longer stories that Rule tends to start off all of her books with. This one didn't have an engaging story at all. Woman murders husband. Rule throws in ti...
I really enjoyed the first story and wish Rule had stopped there. I didn't enjoy the other stories as much. Worth More Dead (5 stars)-This was the longest story in this collection. I often wondered why Rule didn't make this a stand alone story. The other stories didn't really fit. This story was ve...
So this collection didn't do a lot for me. Probably because "A Bus to Nowhere" left a lot of answers that would never be answered fully and it was not a great story to start off with. Most of the stories had no common theme among them besides murders. Usually Rule tries to stick to a theme in her st...
So I went on a True Crime and romance read binge starting on Friday. I honestly didn't feel like posting updates (I embraced my laziness) so here goes some huge review posts. I have been reading Ann Rule for the past couple of years, and decided to start reading her other books I haven't gotten a...
Oh boy, by the time I trudged through this I was no longer fascinated by Ted Bundy, I just hated him, and I hated reading about Ann Rule's feelings.I really liked the part where he thought he was smart enough to represent himself and then got the death penalty though.
I am starting to wind down with my true crime kick. I think I need to mix it up a bit, because reading about cases like this so much is a bit much for me right now. These volumes always have a longer story that Rule focuses on and then some shorter true crime stories. The long one in this one is "...
I feel bad for saying this, but I found most of the stories in this volume to be tedious and boring. Heck, I ended up just skimming the last two stories. The Baby Seller-The first one about a baby seller should have been interesting. But I think due to all of the criminal activities the woman was...
I ended up really annoyed with this one. Honestly I thought that Rule just threw a bunch of stories together and the second story should have been cut from this in its entirety. It becomes a long meandering story about a man who in all probability killed his wife, but there was no resolution to the ...
