My rating:3 stars
 
My opinion: I have to admit that I wasn't as impressed with this book as I thought I would be. There was a very commercial feel to the writing in this story that I didn't think differentiated it from other true crime authors. I believe that this is my first Ann Rule book in a very long time and I just found it very superficial and pretty simplistic. 

Probably won't pick up another one by this author for a while. This story had deeply interested me, but lost me in its writing. I have read other reviews that stated that the writing was repetitive. I would concur with that assessment.

Would I recommend? : Yes, I have a number of friends who enjoy true crime books and this is a pretty standard problem with that genre. One comes to expect it.
