About this audiobook
From trust to terror…from security to survival….
Only Ann Rule, who unknowingly worked alongside the smart and charming Ted Bundy—America's most notorious serial killer—could lend her razor-sharp insight into these cases of the spouse, lover, family member, or helpful stranger who is totally trusted but whose lethally violent nature, though masterfully disguised, can and will kill. Featured here is the case of a Southern California family man who appeared to be the picture of healthy living with his expertise in naturopathic healing. Luring a beautiful flight attendant into a passionate affair, he swept her away to a secluded home on the Oregon coast where his jealous rages escalated, ultimately leading to a brutal sex attack in which she believed she would die. How this brave victim survived, never knowing her tormentor's whereabouts, and how he resurfaced, forcing a tragic end for all involved, makes this one of Ann Rule's most compelling narratives.
Other cases include that of the woman who masterminded her husband's murder to gain his inheritance…the monstrous sadist whose prison release damaged a presidential candidate's campaign and ended in a bitter double tragedy in a quiet neighborhood three thousand miles away…the shocking DNA link between a cold-blooded crime and a cold case…and inside the horrific case of the man who crossed an ocean and several countries to stalk the Eurasian beauty who had fled from him in desperation.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was another example of Ann Rule great and captivating writing. This time this was about stalkers and domestic violence. Very eye opening.zwomen we have to trust our instincts and stop believing in the white knight who will take away all our problems and luve happily ever after .It just fors not exist.Youcan find love but have ur eyes open as well.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So compelling. I could not put it down. There is just something about Ann Rule's true crime novels that just grip me and suck me right on in. They give me the creeps, and they are sad and disturbing, and yet I just can not get enough.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Ann Rule does her usual fine job of following the tortuous paths of true crime. The stories in this collection focus on domestic violence. All of the stories here take place in the Pacific Northwest, as her stories often do. This is home ground for Ann, and she loves and describes it so well. She makes sure the stories are cautionary, warning women to watch for the warning signs of developing poisonous relationships as mirrored in the victims in these cases.
