| patfish1's Full Review: Ann Rule - Kiss Me, Kill Me: Ann Rule's Crime File... |
This book is one of Ann’s famous true crime “compilations” in that there are several stories compiled into one novel.
The book begins with the story of Sandy Bowman, murdered over 35 years prior to the book’s writing. Many of the stories in this book involve crimes that went unsolved for many years to be eventually solved in this era of more modern DNA techniques.
In fact this is one of the more fascinating things about this book, the unfolding tale of investigators trying to solve a crime without all the modern technology available to crime investigators today.
There are some intriguing crimes covered in this book. The books ends with a crime still not solved, a young married woman, Julie Weflin, who disappeared from her job 17 years ago and she still has not been found.
Harvey Glatman was a demented photographer who had a weird penchant for photographing his eventual victims before their murder.
Lee Conners was literally eviscerated while she slept. Her killer was a fellow who really wanted Lee to STAB him for his sexual gratification. Lee survived the horrible attack by running away from her attacker and getting to safety, all the while holding her intestines with her arms.
Other stories include a gullible man killed by a couple and an obsessed husband who kills his wife.
After the detail in these crimes as only Ann Rule can write, many of these crimes by men who so “loved” the women they murdered, Ann provided these rules for young women today. It’s a list of actions/behavior/words that most definitely are NOT love:
-he tells you don't need anyone else but him
-he doesn't want you to wear makeup, fix up
-cuts you off from friends and family
-calls constantly to check up on you
-does not want you to get more education
-says he cant live without you, even threatens suicide
-chips away at your self-confidence
-strikes you, EVER
