Judgment About Books A Rose for Her Grave and Other True Cases (Crime Files #1)

There are stories of six true crimes in this book. The book spends 341 pages on one specific case--the Randy Roth murder trial. The other five case get 200 pages--about forty pages each.Frankly, the smaller cases were a bit more interesting, because Ms. Rule basically gave a summary of each case, hitting the high points.For the longest case, the story was written in extensive detail. For example, whenever she tells about the family's moving, she gives the complete street address. Yes, a police

Man these books are rough. I feel bad shitting on such a classic true crime writer, but shes like. A cop loving boot-licker, and not an especially talented writer to boot. She embellishes too much, and often runs on multiple parallel lines in the same story but is poor at distinguishing between them so you get two paragraphs in before you realize you have no idea whats happening or who the characters are now, or when this part is taking place Id really love a book of short true crime

What a case. I read Fatal Charm which is also an excellent book on this murderer. This book is just as good at covering this narcistic murderer. The facts are hard to believe when put all together, but I am thankful this guy is behind bars. Always get a background check when he or she seems too good to be true

The centerpiece to this look at murder cases is Rule focusing on the case of Randy Roth. Rule calls him a modern day Bluebeard and the comparison is apt. Roth we find truly hates women and woos with the plan to marry them in order to collect their insurance.The first case is set up in typical Rule fashion. She goes into Roth and his victims background. This book differs slightly due to the time between two victims and Roth's apparent plans for more in between. Roth focuses on the women in this



I really loved this book. The cases outlined were interesting and I particularly enjoy Ann Rules writing style. I wasnt expecting the first case to take up 2/3rds of the book though with the remaining five(?) right at the end though.

Only Ms. Rule could have written so diplomatically about the man that married, then murdered for insurance money.
