Editorial Review: Product Description: A charming and briliant dentist, Too Late to Say Goodbye Average Rating:
 Rating:  - AdequateTypical Ann Rule biases and opinions dot the presentation. Victims are presented as almost saintly and she chooses to ignore the fact that early investigators could have done more. Rule even tosses out a missing person in another part of the country at the end of this book and tries to link the killer in this book to her, which, if anyone is familiar with that case, knows is incredibly off-the-wall. But, this book seems to have been well researched and is an interesting ... Read More Rating: - The Dentist From Hell.Ann Rule's meticulous research means that, as with all her books, we get an insight into the various personalities involved in the case. She's very skilled at pointing out the small personal quirk or even decorating style that makes us feel we know the victims & their killer.

You'll be entertained, if your idea of entertainment is reading about domestic murders. There's little doubt they got the right guy, at least ... Read More Rating:  - 1st and last Ann Rule I will ever readWhat a mess to read. Desperately in need of an editor and/or proofreader. Maybe 'true-crime' has lower standards for writing ability, but this book was a real chore. Extremely repetitive, excessively flowery and descriptive. Minimal suspense or insight. Why is this a story we need to read? Smacks of exploitation. According to the other reviewers not one of her best, but I will not give her a second chance. Rating:  - it's okI've read a lot of true crime novels and this one just seemed flat. It seemed more like a report than a story. And I was looking more for a story |
