5.0 out of 5 stars horror and supence, May 28 2004
By Gabriel M Begaye (Gallup,NM USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Fever In The Heart: Ann Rule's Crime Files Volume III (Mass Market Paperback)
Once again Ann Rule, a great storyteller and writer on the horrific detail, tells a story on a perfect murder. So perfect that any detective can agree with. Theres no such thing as a perfect crime that are in all fictional mysteries. An experienced homicide detective investigates an unexplained death with only blood,and no body. An incredible story that sheds light on a marriage that seemed happy, but lead to a betrayal. Also the author of the story made it so exciting for a reader to read, like adding a serial killer in the story. This story is like a murder waiting to happen.

3.0 out of 5 stars curious but overall unengaging true crime stories..., Oct 7 2003
By lazza (Fort Lauderdale, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Fever In The Heart: Ann Rule's Crime Files Volume III (Mass Market Paperback)
"A Fever In The Heart" is the third installment of Ann Rule's true crime files. Nearly all these true crime collections are a hodgepodge of stories, often unrelated, and too often unengaging. "A Fever In The Heart" is ranked firmly in the middle; it is neither terrible, nor very good.

The main story is a curious one where "male bonding" takes an ugly turn. The devotion between a wrestling coach and his underlings go WAY behind the norm. This leads to a very unusual murder mystery. However Ann Rule doesn't bother to sweat the details as she has done in her better books; it has a Reader's Digest feel about it. And unfortunately, the half dozen or so other shorter stories which follow the main story are little more than gussied up police crime reports ... with relatively little literary merit.

But why do fans (like myself) continue to read Ann Rule books? Quite simply, she has a very pleasent style to her prose. It's both folksy yet intelligent and compassionate. It's almost never a bad reading experience. Unfortunately most of these her "true crime files" are hastily constructed and are rarely as good as her more in-depth, beefy true crime works.

Bottom line: very ordinary Ann Rule fodder. She has done much better than this.

1.0 out of 5 stars No Fever for me, April 25 2002
By Victory (Omaha, NE United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Fever In The Heart: Ann Rule's Crime Files Volume III (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm fairly new to Ann Rule books, but had this been the first one I'd read, it probably would have been the last. The first story was so bogged down in unnecessary and boring details that it was extremely difficult to plow through. At about page 100, I began skipping a few pages at a time to see if it got better - it didn't. Certainly not up to her usual standard.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not that interesting
I usually enjoy Ann Rule's books. But the first story in "Fever" was dull. It was a boring soap opera starring an average looking woman, a frumpy coach and a husband... Read more
