Everything She Ever Wanted
Book Description
<CENTER>WAS SHE A SWEET SOUTHERN CHARMER?<P>OR A COLD-BLOODED KILLER?</CENTER><P>For their wedding portrait, petite Pat Taylor and handsome Tom Allanson posed as Rhett and Scarlett. Both came from fine Southern families, and dreamed of the Tara-like plantation where they would grow roses, raise horses, and move in the genteel circles of Atlanta society. Less than two months later, their dream exploded in terror and murder: their beautiful home mysteriously burned to the ground and Tom was convicted of the brutal slaying of his mother and father.<P>Pat's only brother had died in a puzzling suicide, her grandparents-in-law were poisoned with arsenic, and no one -- from her wealthy employers to her own children -- was safe when Pat Allanson didn't get her way. It took Georgia lawmen more than two decades to stop her for good -- if indeed they have.<P>In this fascinating account, Ann Rule delivers a tour de force: a whirlwind of misguided love, denial, guilt, and passions out of control; a series of brilliantly manipulated crimes; the bizarre and horrifying tale of two families brought to ruin; and, at the center of it all, the heartless, supremely selfish sociopath whose evil hid behind soft words and gentle manners, but who destroyed -- without mercy -- those who loved her.<P> Reader Reviews
Pat Taylor and her family pass themselves off as SO classy, SO refined, SO well-bred.... well, la-dee-dah!!! Just below that sweet, Southern charm exterior is a cesspool. To say nothing of the positively STUPID, slavish indulgence they lavished on the family's crown jewel, Pat. The only thing Pat learned in her spoiled life was how to get her way. ALWAYS her way, or else. It served to ruin the lives of those around her. Didn't she have any twinges of conscience when, as an adult, she kept running back to Mother & Dad? And draining away ALL their money?? They bought Pat everything, supported her kids, sold off all they had to pay her legal expenses & medical care, ad nauseam. Pat is disgusting!!! The worst is, she's OUT of prison now!!! SO: WHO's her next victim??? |
