This is a collection of true crime cases, written up by noted true crime writer Ann Rule. I liked her writing in this book. You can tell that she is very knowledgeable about the cases she writes about. This wasn't a very long read, probably because the cases are split up and the focus isn't on one event. I prefer the books that focus on one case, but I have nothing negative to say about this. If you like anthologies, this might be a series for you.
