About this listen

 America’s #1 true-crime writer unveils the chilling true story of the Sheila Bellush murder, unveiling domestic violence, an obsessive ex-husband, and a desperate plea for justice in this gripping account written at the victim’s request.

“If anything ever happens to me…find Ann Rule and ask her to write my story.”

In perhaps the first true-crime book written at the victim’s request, Ann Rule untangles a web of lies and brutality that culminated in the murder of Sheila Blackthorne Bellush—a woman Rule never met, but whose shocking story she chronicled with compassion, exacting detail, and unvarnished candor.

Although happily ensconced in a loving second marriage, and a new family of quadruplets, Sheila never truly escaped the vicious enslavement of her ex-husband, multi-millionaire Allen Blackthrone, a handsome charmer—and a violent, controlling sociopath who subjected Sheila to unthinkable abuse in their marriage, and terrorized her for a decade after their divorce. When Sheila was murdered in her home, in the presence of her four toddlers, authorities raced to link the crime to Blackthorne, the man who vowed to monitor Sheila’s every move in his obsessive quest for power and revenge.

With her careful research and signature reporting, Ann Rule captures Sheila’s harrowing story while honoring a victim’s last request. Murder True Crime Marriage Crime Inspiring

Another fantastic telling of a tragic story. She has a way of explaining the facts without sensationalizing the killers and always keeps the victims as the person who needs to recognized and remembered. I’m so sad there will be no more books from her.

Ann Rule is my favourite true crime author

I wish I could get my credit back from getting this book...I thought it was gonna be a book talking about "true crime" and all. But nope...here i am after 7 hours of listening and at Chapter 8 and all I heard were introduction of characters which are not important at all with useless details of their lives. It was getting so ridiculous that at one point, I decided to take notes of the random people she talked about and by chapter 8, she named at least 50 useless names with useless details that has no interest in the story. I am quitting this book cuz after 7 hours of listening I am still waiting for the "story" to start and I'm getting very bored and annoyed at how BORING this is...SKIP ON THIS ONE! ZZZzzzzzZzzzz

Get to the point please???
