Tom Capano is a possessive and controlling womanizer, and a pathological liar who got away with it for many years due to his status as a golden boy within his community. It was a long time bringing him to justice and very satisfying when it finally happened. She always does amazing justice to the victims and their families with her honest but compassionate depictions of the innocents involved and manages always to keep things interesting. This is one of Ann's longer books, but it flew by quickly.

Slow to start but quickly picked up. I’m late to Ann Rule but if you like true crime podcasts - give this one a quick read/listen.

It's been a long time since I've read an Ann Rule's book. This one was pretty good (Rule definitely knows how to write well), but not the best. I found it a bit slow/long at time.

Listened as an audiobook (not the best production; mine had a lot of long breaks between chapters).

While reading this story, I can feel her struggle in the entangled relationship as well. I was surprised that the story started with a long story about their parents which was unusual to me. Luckily, the beginning was interesting to read, else it will be a draggy story as the unnecessary details took too long until it reached the part of their encounter, Thomas and Anne Marie Fahey.

And Never Let Her Go: Thomas Capano The Deadly Seducer by Ann Rule.

#PopsugarReadingChallenge2019
Prompt - a novel based on a true story: The murder of Anne Marie Fahey

I chose this particular true crime novel because I really do remember the case. I was a freshman in high school and lived through Amy Fisher and the OJ trial, but this one (and others like it) always stick with me the most because of how easily it could have been someone I know. Or even me. A young girl charmed, used, and discarded. How often does that happen? Exactly.

Ann Rule, of course, did an amazing job of filling in all of the gaps that were missing.

Tightly written. Scarier because it is true.
