Beautifully written

"In case I get killed by Allen, get Anne Rule to write the story about me" - were Sheila's words she said to so many people.
Her premonitions proved right. She got killed, and Anne Rule wrote a book about her. A book that is gripping to the very last page. A book that breaks everyone's heart apart from people like Allen.
"Easier said then done" - but Sheila today may have been alive if she was more conscious while she was alive.I've read that so many people unfortunetaly lost sympathy to Sheila for "she was" a child beater and that sort of stuff but the only time I lost sympathy for Sheila was when she decided to go with Allen to Hawaii despite the fact that Allen was a dog who was accepted in her parents home yet misused their warm, parently hospitality by ripping a lot of their money.
Then, Sheila was aware of Allen's sick kinky fetish fantasies. She knew that he wore womens clothes and lots of different secrets others didn't, yet she remained his wife hoping for something that was impossible. Allen was sick by all means and he was a master to hide his ill-minded sickness to other people.
Anyways, at the end Sheila divorces him finally and meets the man of her dreams Jamie who soon became her devoted husband but
she could never get a divorce from Allen's hatred! He was still a great part of Sheila's daily life. He was an idiot who had everything but a healthy mind.
In this book a lot of people, especially women whose husbands wear women clothes and are abusive, can learn a lot on how to avoid becoming a victim as Sheila. They're surely not normal and I don't how can it be legal for a husband and a father to wear womens clothes in public and behave like that.The thought of it makes me sick - because it is sick. So,if your husband wears womens clothes and threaten you, report them to the police. If they don't respond like they usually don't - as usual then spend a couple of bucks and buy this book for them -so maybe it'll dawn on them that they are capable of stopping crimes just as they are very capable of catching stupid people like the killers of Sheila.
Yes, reading the book you'll understand that four people were involved in the murder. One of them got only $20 and nineteen years in prison. The rest - all sentenced to life in prison. How nice that justice always wins but how sad that victims always lose and that their gaps can never be filled with nothing even if these sick idiots were put in electric chairs for what they've done to HUMANS in general.
And for the end I think the morale story of this sad reality is STICK WITH YOUR FAMILY if they're NICE of course, and don't swap them for anything or anyone.

Wow!!!

Making the decision to read a fiction story along with a non-fiction book concurently my librarian suggested a Ann Rule Book. Well, I am a fan now. The only problem is the truth sometimes reads more like fiction than fiction itself. This man was truly a monster, to his family and society itself. If Lucifer is on earth he probably is in the body of Allen. I Will now begin my journey to read all of Ann Rules works, I am sure I will enjoy them all.

Perceptive and riveting - repetetive and boring

If I hadn't already read so many of Ann Rule's books I'd have given this at least 4 stars. On the upside, this author does a great job of integrating the most relevant aspects of each character's history. She has an outstanding comprehension of the human psyche and knows how to string together the elements of a person's past that make them who they are. Her story-telling is generally fast-paced and suspenseful.

On the other hand, there is very little variance in the structure of her books. Obviously the stories are all different, but she fits them into this framework that has become a little tiring for me. Once you've read a few of her books, you can smell them a mile away. I also found this particular book a little heavy on the repetition of details. She was in a difficult situation because there are several defendants and two major trials for this crime. While it was important to get information about the statements and testimony of all four men involved in this crime, I still think it was a little overdone.
