Loading... Too Late to Say Goodbye: A True Story of Murder and Betrayal (2007)by Ann Rule
None. Ann Rule really took this story and captured me! Knowing that it was a true crime story, it left me with trying to do all of the research that I could possibly dig up on this case to find out what has happened since this book's release. It is so compelling! I really enjoyed her style of writing and believe that she truly captured the character's the best that she could to correctly identify them in real life. There was also a movie that came out, which I couldn't hesitate to find and watch and it was good but not nearly as factual and good as the book. It really laid out all of the details of the story and was just truly a great book! I will be sure to add Ann Rule as a must-read author from now on!

(  ) mahallett | Sep 21, 2011 | Excellent whyteb | Apr 18, 2010 | I have a love hate relationship with Ann Rule's books. I love the genre - true crime and I love that she's so thorough, but sometimes her writing is to sterile, too police report-like. I know that she's trying to do justice to the facts, but sometimes her writing is just downright boring. Luckily, this book is one of her better books. Dr. Bart Corbin is a dentist with a dark side. No woman ever leaves him...voluntarily. His first girlfriend broke his heart and let loose a monster. When Dolly Hearn tries to break up with Bart, he methodically stalks her and sets out to make her appear unstable. She ends up dead. When his wife of 9 years finally gets the nerve to leave him, she ends up dead. The two deaths are similar in many ways. Rule does a good job of being fair and impartial to all in this book. She is a true reporter in that sense. One of the key problems I have with her writing in this book as in others is that I really don't care about the characters because they're treated so clinically. I think she needs to add more of a human touch to them, then the true horror of the crime is apparent. As it is, I know from the beginning that people are dead and I never have any true sense of fear for them. But as much as I find Rule's writing somewhat clinical, I keep going back because I like the subject matter. (  ) TamiHindes | Jan 12, 2010 | no reviews | add a review
