Format:Mass Market Paperback
Being a true crime buff and having read other books by Ann Rule, I knew what to expect from this book. It arrived in ample time and was well wrapped and in good condition. It was, as expected a good read and has already been passed on to other friends who enjoy this sort of book. I think that this would make a good book to take on holiday. A welcome change from the more usual chick lit holiday reading.

No Regrets About This One!
12 Jan 2007
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book consists of a lengthy main story that is a fascinating tale about the murder of a ship's pilot by his wife. It is followed by multiple separate but equally compelling stories that while tragic, are poignant and quite interesting.
Ann Rule continues to unfold stories with great attention to the backgrounds of the people in her novels and the locations relevant to their lives. She has a clear interest in why people do what they do and obvious respect for the justice system and crime victims. Her "way with a word" just gets better with time. This is a must have book for anyone that enjoys true crime stories.

Some Interesting Stories!
26 Nov 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I am big Ann Rule fan. I think I read about every one of her books possible. She is such a captivating author that if she wrotes novels, she would win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Her books always romanticize the setting whether it's Lopez Island, Seattle, Portland, and usually in the Pacific Northwest that is also where she calls home. She uses her intelligence and wit to write stories about common, ordinary people sometimes extraordinary, deranged, and dangerous like Rolf and Rose Neslund in the Sea Captain about a Norwegian American sea captain who lives on Lopez Island. Him and his wife have one of the most dysfunctional relationships ever just to clue you in but yet it's ROlf we have to feel sorry for because he is the victim of Rose's anger and hatred and jealousy over his money which she controls. There are other stories like a Very Bad Christmas about a father/husband who kills his wife and two young children. A story that never made national headlines. Or the two men who raped and kidnapped Kari Lindholm who survived the ordeal. Or the man who shot and killed a bank officer during a botched robbery. These stories happen a lot more than we expect but Ann puts perspective on the survivors, the victims, and even the criminals. We know that Ann does not treat the criminals lightly at all. She criticizes their crimes very well but she also makes the attempt to understand them and that's what make her a very special true crime author.

Not her best, but so what?
25 Dec 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I love Ann Rule's books and will read anything she writes. I am sure she would agree that No Regrets is not her best work. But considering her productivity level (she says she write two books a year) I don't know that anyone could produce masterpieces like Small Sacrifices, The Stranger Beside Me, Bitter Harvest each time.
If you have never read one of Ann Rule's books, start with one of the above full-length works. Then you will know why we devotees keep reading.
