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.
I love the way this woman writes.

Mark as DNF
I was excited to read my first ever Ann Rule book but have to mark this as DNF. It was incredibly dense and I ended up googling to figure out what ended up happening because I couldn’t finish it.
May try Ann Rule again with another book.

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.
