Kiss Me, Kill Me
Kiss Me, Kill Me: Ann Rule's Crime Files | Ann Rule
6 posts | 15 read | 4 to read
The dark side of love is no fairy tale.... And while we may like to believe that crimes of the heart only victimize those who aren't careful, this page-turning collection of must-read accounts will convince you otherwise. America's #1 true-crime writer, Ann Rule reveals how lovers become predators, how sex and lust can push ordinary people to desperate acts, and how investigators and forensics experts work to unravel the most entangled crimes of passion. Extracting behind-the-scenes details, Rule makes these volatile relationships utterly real, and masterfully re-creates the ill-fated chains of events in such cases as the ex-Marine and martial arts master who seduced vulnerable women and then destroyed their lives...the killer whose calling card was a single bloodred rose...the faithless wife who manipulated and murdered without conscience...the blind date that set the stage for a killer's brutality...and more. In every case, the victim -- young and innocent or older and experienced -- unknowingly trusted a stranger with the sociopathic skill to hide their dark motives, until it was too late to escape a web of deadly lies, fatal promises, and homicidal possession.

This was a great little group of stories from Ann Rule (I mean of course!) Anyway... I hate that... I just um... sometimes, I have an issue with trying to be “nice“. Used to get me in a lot of trouble when I was younger and unsure of myself. As the #Murderinos say #FuckPoliteness

I just adored everything by Ann Rule! This book comes with a lot of trigger warning though. It is disturbing and graphic at times, but nobody writes true crime like Ann Rule! #ssdgm

I‘m listening to this on audio my mom loves Ann Rule but I‘m finding it kind of off putting how often she interjects herself into the stories. “I was on the search” “I was at the trial” and she name drops Ted Bundy a lot. I get it, you knew him!!

#TuneIntoNovember #KissKissBangBang 💋💋💥💥I went with a mix of mystery/thrillers & the tagged book of true crime stories with 'kiss' in their titles as there's definitely some 'bang bang' in these too.😆 I've read & enjoyed them all-especially the Karin Slaughter & J.T. Ellison series. A Kiss Before Dying is old school but the book & both movies (1956 & 1991) are worth reading & watching. Mahalo @Cinfhen & @Robothugs for the fun 🎼challenge.💋💋

Robothugs Nicely done 😉 7y
