In this harrowing New York Times best seller, Ann Rule is at her masterful best as she winnows horrific truths from the ashes of what seemed like paradise in Prairie Village, Kansas. Rule probes the case of Debora Green, a doctor and a loving mother who seemed to epitomize the dreams of the American heartland. A small-town girl with a genius IQ, she achieved an enviable life.

Story
On June 27, 1996, 30-year-old Anne Marie Fahey, who was the scheduling secretary for the governor of Delaware, had dinner with a man she had been having a secret affair with for over two years. "Tommy" Capano, 47, was perhaps the most politically powerful man in Wilmington. Son of a wealthy contractor, former state prosecutor, partner in a prestigious law firm, advisor to governors and mayors, Tom had a soft-spoken, considerate manner, endearing him to many. But sometime after 9:15 that night when Anne Marie and Tom left a Philadelphia restaurant, something terrible happened to her.

An idyllic Hawaiian wedding held the promise of a wonderful future for handsome, athletic Chris Northon, an airline pilot, a confirmed bachelor-turned-devoted family man; and Liysa, an acclaimed surf photographer, loving mother, and aspiring Hollywood screenwriter. But few, including Chris, had seen Liysa's other side - her controlling behavior and dark moods, her insatiable hunger for money and property. And no one anticipated the fatal outcome of a family camping trip in an Oregon forest.

Addicted to his own greed, Roth exercised a powerful aura of control over his victims, using his ability to charm and boyish good looks to lower their defenses. By the time they saw the reality of the madness in his eyes, it was usually too late.

Verteran investigative journalist Stevie Cameron first began following the story of missing women in 1998, when the odd newspaper piece appeared chronicling the disappearances of drug-addicted sex trade workers from Vancouver's notorious Downtown Eastside. It was not until February 2002 that pig farmer Robert William Pickton would be arrested, and 2008 before he was found guilty, on six counts of second-degree murder. These counts were appealed and in 2010, the Supreme Court of Canada rendered its conclusion.

Written by: Maureen Callahan
Publisher's Summary
America’s number one true-crime writer fulfills a murder victim’s desperate plea with this shattering New York Times best seller.
“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 now chronicles 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, multimillionaire Allen Blackthorne, 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 slain 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.

Well done but court transcripts drag on
Well done Ann Rule is great as ever stocked full of forensic and human character details. She def brings this memorable tragic story to life. Cons are that Ann Rule, as usual, is a bit one dimensional and moralistic about the minor characters dividing all those even peripherally involved into broad strokes of good and Evil.
The narrator was really good EXCEPT for she made every witness who responded “yes” or “no” during cross examination as if a question mark at the end. Every single witness on every single statement. Did X happen? … No?! Or Yes?! This began to grate on my nerves but overall great book

Yet another book of superfluous religion packed in
Normally these would be well written, informative, and captivating books. Unfortunately, this is just another book packed with FAR too much religion! There's absolutely no reason to include so many gods, demons, spirits, ghosts, etc., into a book, especially since no such things exist! Somehow Ann Rule finds every single religious murder victim/family member in the country! There's no way that she can say that every single person in every single book she writes prays as much as she says they do!
After having listened to a few of her books, I can no longer handle the superfluous religious references sure packs into her books!
It's already ridiculous that in this day in age, people still believe such nonsense, but for these people to not even recognize the irony in the fact that the very same magic sky fairy they're asking for favors is the very same magic sky fairy that allowed their family member to be slaughtered in the first place is just too ridiculous!!

She does not leave anything out. I felt like I was in the courtroom. I felt for the children especially the two eldest daughters which are actually older than me, even though I’m closer to Sheila’s age currently.
