Great Book!

This is one of those books you can't put down! I loved reading it even though the circumstances are sad! You really feel for the families involved and almost feel connected as you are reading the book. Ann Rule is a fabulous author and I look forward to more of her books.

Too Late to Say Goodbye

I am a huge Ann Rule fan and this was another well-spun, although sad story. Ann writes about true crime in novel fashion, which makes it absorbing to read.

Ann Rule knows her subject well and does not disappoint!

Read it while on an extended hospital stay and it made the time pass quickly. Another good Ann Rule yarn...however, someday I'd like to read a story by her where the husband loves the wife and isn't some obsessive killer! : )

I'd call it 3-1/2 stars

This was a pretty good true crime story - one where you can't believe people think they can get away with anything. It also shows you how much some people can be concerned with themselves only - and if anything interferes with that ...watch out! It wasn't the best true crime I have ever read but the pages went by fairly rapidly.

yet another competent effort by Ann Rule...

I have read most of Ann Rule's true crime books, and she has indeed authored a great many books. 'Too Late to Say Goodbye' is one of her latest efforts and, I'm glad to say, one of her better efforts too. It is about a dentist who murders both his girlfriend and, fifteen years later, his wife in a similar fashion and is, thankfully, ultimately brought to justice. Ann Rule obviously prepared well since 'Too Late...' is very detailed. And the book is deceptively well structured (the accounts of both murders are largely interwoven throughout most of the book to highlight the similarities).

The book doesn't earn five stars because the nature of the crimes in 'Too Late...' are not quite as convoluted or are heinous compared to what is found in other Ann Rule books. And I was disappointed not to be entertained with any sort of courtroom drama. On the plus side, I found this book to be less 'gushy' in flowery descriptions of the victims, or their kids, or anything which Ann Rule can blather on about in hopes of making the crimes sound even more heinous than they are. Is murdering a beautiful woman with adorable children any more tragic than killing an average woman with brats??? It's a bit irrelevant.

Bottom line: a entertaining slice of true crime drama. Recommended.
