Book Overview

In this chilling volume of New York Times bestselling author Ann Rule's Crime Files, discover unforgettable cases of a spouse, lover, family member or helpful stranger who is totally trusted--until it's too late.Whether driven to extreme violence by greed or jealousy, passion or rage, the calculating sociopaths in this true crime collection targeted those closest to them--unwitting victims whose last disbelieving words could well have been "but I trusted you...." Headlining this page-turning anthology is the case of middle-school counselor Chuck Leonard, found shot to death outside his Washington State home on an icy February morning. A complicated mix of family man and wild man, Chuck played hard and loved many...but who crossed the line by murdering him in cold blood? And why? The revelation is as stunning as the shattering crime itself, powerfully illuminating how those we think we know can ingeniously hide their destructive and homicidal designs. Along with other shocking cases, immaculately detailed and sharply analyzed by America's #1 true crime writer, this fourteenth Crime Files volume is essential reading for getting inside the mind of the hidden killers among us.

Excellent Book!

As usual, this is another excellent account of true crime stories from the NorthWest area. I have read all volumnes of Ann Rule's crime stories. This book features the account of the demented wife who murdured her husband as a part of her plan to ditch her husband and travel to Hawaii to marry her other "rich" lover, but it backfired on her. And the most intriging story in the book is of the family who were murdered on...

Another Great Book!

This is another great book from Ann Rule. I love her writing style because she makes you feel as if you really know the people she is writing about. Like the other reviewers, I was also intrigued by the story about the family that was killed in 1974. Glad that their story was told by someone as compassionate as Ann Rule because she really cares about the victims. It was great that she put the excerpt from her next book...

Loved it of course!

Once again, I am happy I got a copy of this on Black Friday and read it through. Of course, it is her classic files and those books are fun for a quick read. I also about fell out of my seat when I read the line about Diane Downs, Susan Smith and CASEY ANTHONY! All my interests in one nice package. Yeah!
