Rule always prioritizes the lives of the victims while also dissecting the motivations of the killers she profiles. A delicate balance in true crime that many are not able to achieve.

Ann Rule's singular approach to true crime puts her at the top of the heap for me. She writes about mostly female victims with compassion and emotion, and though she doesn't shy away from gruesome details, the focus is always the people. The title story about the many wives of a man who can't seem to keep them for long is particularly twisty and chilling. If you are a trusting and kind person, here's a read that will douse you in some (healthy?) reservations about charming strangers and windows left open at night.
