From Publishers Weekly

The centerpiece of this chilling collection is the history of Randy Roth, a "modern-day Bluebeard" who specialized in marrying women and then killing them for insurance and Social Security benefits. Rule ( Everything She Ever Wanted ) traces Roth's crimes thoroughly and does an equally complete job of providing information on the investigative side of the story, such as the difficulties of being a female prosecutor. The remaining shorter cases come from Rule's "archives": a rapist returns after eight years in prison to kill the woman who put him there along with her daughter and a neighbor; a jilted husband hires a female "hit person" to kill his estranged wife; a 13-year-old girl disappears after tending to the mobile home of a friend on vacation; a sadistic killer murders a woman, chops her up and disposes of her dismembered body in a slough; and a young, single woman is strangled by a neighbor pretending to be her protector. In a brief introduction to each, Rule discusses the effect of the individual case on her feelings about capital punishment and other issues, and her unwavering voice presents even the most gruesome details rationally. (Aug).

From Library Journal

Rule is this country's premier true crime author as well as one of its most prolific. She maintains her position with this first volume in a projected five-volume series. This book contains one long piece (a book in itself) and five shorter pieces, all dealing with male killers of women in the Northeast, Rule's home turf. The title piece focuses on a modern-day Bluebeard, Randy Roth, who murdered his second wife for insurance, claiming that her death was a mountaineering accident; tried to murder his third wife; ditched a promising marriage prospect when he discovered her to be uninsurable; and then murdered his fourth wife, this time explaining her death as an accidental drowning. Although there was no hard evidence in any of the cases, the cumulative circumstantial evidence was enough to convict him. Rule's ability to depict both criminals and victims as believable human beings is perfectly embodied in this sad, fascinating account. Indeed, all her accounts present the female victims as real people who deserve compassionate treatment. For all popular true crime collections.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Very Interesting Stories-Quite Intense, Déc 27 2003
Par J. Kirkman "book jen" (St. Petersburg, FL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
In A Rose for her Grave, the main story of the book, tells us the story of Randy Roth and how he married and used women for profits. His many wives would die after he took out a life insurance policy on each one of them, and he would collect benefits on each one. The detectives began to suspect foul play and when they investigated, put Randy on trial for the murders of his many wives. He was also a very abusive father in the story, treating his own son, and stepsons very cruelly. It was unreal what this man did and got by with for too long until he was caught.

The other stories are murder mysteries. They tell of young girls in their teens and early twenties who had been brutally murdered.

I would recommend this book if you enjoy true-crime books. It was very well-written as most of Ann Rule's books are.

4.0étoiles sur 5 enthralling, Oct. 19 2003
I haven't even finished this book, but already I can say it is one of the best of the TRUE CRIME's I have read, and there have been many. The title story about Randy Roth and the poor women he victimized is sickening but completely engrossing reading. I highly recommend.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Interesting........., Oct. 16 2003
Par Un client
Am I the only one who wanted to slap Randy Roth after reading this book? The wormy little Roth made it a habit of physically abusing his young son and mentally abusing woman that came within 50ft of him (let's not forget killing two of them). In between, he found time to seduce the preteen daughter of his good friends. The story is interesting although I would have liked to know more about Randy's youth since there had to be a time when someone said: "That kid's a nut". The other stories in the book are just as interesting proving once again that Ann Rule is the Queen of true crime.
