  1. This sounds like an interesting book. I enjoy a good true crime story. I have added this one to my book list. Thanks! I have found Ann Rule to be a very enjoyable and fascinating author. Her book, "The Stranger Beside Me" was very well written. http://www.planetannrule.com/ The books is a newly updated reprint of the chilling story behind one of the most notorious serial killers in history. I am excited that Ann Rule has updated her books into ebook format, making her books easily accessible to all.
