SEATTLE -- True crime writer Ann Rule, who wrote more than 30 books, including a profile of her former co-worker, serial killer Ted Bundy, has died at 83. Rule died at Highline Medical Center, south of Seattle, at 10:30 p.m. Sunday, said Scott Thompson, a spokesman for CHI Franciscan Health.

For this man, a nut...

Two True Crime book reviews here. One is a very personal, almost painful review. For it was this Blogger who originally was scheduled to write the story of the very troubled Lisa Montgomery, a woman who cold-bloodedly killed a young mother and ripped her unborn baby from her body.

I did, however, know a few members of Lisa Montgomery’s family and this gave me an insight into how Phelps wrote the book, the skewed points of view within the book’s covers and...

An Ann Rule book review because one cannot get enough Ann Rule. This one is “Last Chance, Last Dance” and Ann revisits some old crimes being solved with new technology. Plus a “Celebrity Apprentice” update as the female team keeps losing every challenge. Finally, an American Idol update-Charleston and San Diego. I think I've located the next American Idol. All with pics and video you’ll find nowhere else on the Internet.
