As a first hand knower of one of these accounts, I can personally certify Ann Rule doesn't check her supposed "facts" nor does she discern how to take responsibilty for for her flagrant sloppiness. She claims she writes from crime files. But even that is an exaggeration. The crimes of her rationalizations are without excuse & I doubt her her hell will be much cooler than those murderers and victims she fantasizes and profits from. I am Bill Hubbard, the former roommate of Jim Elledge, I know first hand. She never checked her "storyline."

This another great one written by Ann Rule. I love all of the books included in her true crime series because not only do you get a whole regular length story but along with that you get a couple shorter, but just as gripping, stories to read as well. The main story in this book is about a doctor, a plastic surgeon, who decided it would be best to kill his wife because she interfered with his pracice and his life. I would recommend this book to anyone along with any books written by this author.
Ann Rule is a fantastic true crime writer, and I cannot seem to put her books down. The stories in this book were thought provoking, and real. She shows her true talent as she retells the stories of how they should be. In the first, "Last Dance, Last Chance" Ann Rule retells the story of a doctor who gets away with treating patients, even though he does not truely have all of his MD the way he is suppoed to. It also tells of how he killed a young mother in one of his botched surgaries, and then tries (and doesn't suceed, thankfully) to kill his wife. Thie story is engrossing, and hard to put down. Another A++++ for Ann Rule - Keep the novels coming!
Being a true Ann Rule fan, this was a classic too read. I loved getting into the story and sometimes putting myself in the characters shoes. This book, just like her others, was well written. You could tell she did extensive research on this book. but hey she always does.
Another testament to Ann Rule's reign as the best non-fiction true crime writer of all time! She includes facts plus adds the small but not-too-trivial details that all of her readers want to know about her subjects.
