Serial rapist and murderer Duane Demich is surreptitiously stalking Joanne Lindstrom. He sees in her the woman who will become his slave and recall to life the mother he has lost and upon whom he is fixated. Joanne and husband Danny take a camping trip, inadvertently giving him the perfect chance to move in for the (both literal and figurative) kill. This novel does not have the gripping power that propels the reader into the real lives of her amazing true crime victims.
I didn't know Ann Rule wrote fictional novels. So I was surprised to see that on the cover. I liked the book though. It was the kind of book I needed to read at this time. Engaging, fast-paced and easy to follow.
