I could not finish this book. The audiobook had one of the worst narrator I have ever listened to and it was literally the CDs turned to eAudio. They kept saying "end of disc 1", "end of disc 2".

I liked how this was about multiple cases. Tad too long though. By the end they all seemed the same kind of story to me.

This book is a good reminder that a lot of crimes are perpetrated by romantic interests. People get picked up in bars, clubs or restaurants. After that, all manner of crimes happen. People who are sex workers are extremely high risk. Domestic violence escalates to murder a lot of times. A lot of crimes, especially those against women, are by someone that they know. That was my biggest take away from this collection of case stories. Always be careful, no matter who you are with.

Listened to the audio version of the book. This book features 10 different essays. The first one, also called "Kiss Me, Kill Me" was very complex and sometimes I felt a little lost because the author mentioned so many cases and names, and was always jumping between different facts, that it made it a little hard to completely follow the narrative (especially because I was listening to the audio format instead of reading).
Almost all of these essays talk about violence against women and in some cases there is more information about the investigation, others about the trial and even others have more information about the victims or killers. I like Ann Rule's writing, and how vivid imagery she can create through her words. I wasn't excepting this book to have so many cases, maybe if I had known I would have read it in another format.
1) "Kiss Me, Kill Me"
2) "The Postman Only Killed Once"
3) "What's Love Got to Do with It?"
4) "Old Flames Can Burn"
5) "The Lonely Hearts Killer"
6) "The Captive Bride"
7) "Bad Blind Date"
8) "The Highway Accident"
9) "You Kill Me---Or I'll Kill You"
10) "Where Is Julie?"
