Volume 16 in the Ann Rule Crime Files pulls no punches. Just
as every one of her other true crime books, FATAL FRIENDS,
DEADLY NEIGHBORS AND OTHER TRUE CASES grabs you, holds you
close and never lets you go as you travel on the journey of
each true crime case with her.
In this particular volume, Ms. Rule lets you join her as she
investigates the truly tragic and mysterious case of Susan
Powell's disappearance as well as following her husband Josh
Powell's very odd behavior on the road to the final and
horrific action he took. The deaths of Rebecca Zahau and her
boyfriend's young son, Maxfield Shacknai in Coronado,
California are also covered in heartbreaking detail. Both of
these cases captured the attention of the country, if not
the world due to their sad but also very mysterious
elements. Also covered are some older cases that have since
been solved since Ms. Rule first wrote about them.
FATAL FRIENDS, DEADLY NEIGHBORS AND OTHER TRUE CASES follows
in the suspenseful and nerve jangling tradition as other
books written by Ann Rule. She's able to write in a way that
causes the hair on the back of your neck to stand up even
when you know how it all turns out in the end. You can't
help but get caught up in her true tales of terror. She
doesn't excuse shoddy police work, either. If she feels that
a police investigation was bungled to the point of letting a
suspect get away, she has no problem making her opinion
known right there in print for everyone to see.
When you read any true crime book by Ann Rule, you can rest
assured that you're getting the accurate facts of any case
she tackles and not just rehashed news articles. This lady
does her own investigation and unearths things that even the
police working these cases might have missed. The point is
if you're a true crime buff, FATAL FRIENDS, DEADLY NEIGHBORS
AND OTHER TRUE CASES is a must have for your collection. Be
prepared to think about these cases long after you've put
the book away.
