Book Description

<B><CENTER>The dark side of love is no fairy tale.</CENTER></B><P>And while we may like to believe that crimes of the heart only victimize those who aren't careful, this page-turning collection of must-read accounts will convince you otherwise. America's #1 true-crime writer, Ann Rule reveals how lovers become predators, how sex and lust can push ordinary people to desperate acts, and how investigators and forensics experts work to unravel the most entangled crimes of passion. Extracting behind-the-scenes details, Rule makes these volatile relationships utterly real, and masterfully re-creates the ill-fated chains of events in such cases as the ex-Marine and martial arts master who seduced vulnerable women and then destroyed their livesthe killer whose calling card was a single bloodred rosethe faithless wife who manipulated and murdered without consciencethe blind date that set the stage for a killer's brutalityand more. In every case, the victim -- young and innocent or older and experienced -- unknowingly trusted a stranger with the sociopathic skill to hide their dark motives, until it was too late to escape a web of deadly lies, fatal promises, and homicidal possession.

Reader Reviews

I really enjoyed Ann Rule's audio CD of the dentist accused of killing his wife, which I think was, "Too late to say goodbye." I had ordered it without reading the description, so I was on the edge of my seat most of the CD, there were lots of surprises I didn't anticipate, and there were some really interesting details about how the police proved their case. This audio CD was very disappointing by comparison. The stories are frequently disturbing without really having anything suspenseful happen, no big surprises in terms of investigation, etc. It's almost just like a chronicle of some of the more sensational cases she wrote about during a certain time period, but none of it gave me much insight or kept me on the edge of my seat.
