5.0 out of 5 stars Especially enjoyed this one, April 26 2004

By	Anne Henry (Buena Park, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: If You Really Loved Me (Mass Market Paperback)

I have read every book Ann Rule has published and she is, without doubt, one of the very best crime writers ever. I didn't really realize this until I had read a couple of other true murder stories written by others, and only then, by comparison, could I appreciate her superlative talent in her field.
This book was especially interesting to me because I live not far from where this all happened, and I followed it daily in the media. Knowing only what the media had put forth, it was fascinating to get the inside story and the followup.
One of the great things about Ms. Rule's books compared to others is the inclusion of pictures. She always has pictures of the victim and family, the prosecutors and persons pivotal in solving and trying the case, and of course, pictures of the murderer. In most of the books by other writers, there were no pictures at all. I didn't realise how important and valuable the pictures were to the entire story until I read books about murderers and their victims in which there were no pictures!
I eagerly await every book Ann Rule writes. If true murder stories are your interest, satisfaction guaranteed with this book--and anything Ann Rule writes!

3.0 out of 5 stars Ann Rule is a little one sided here......, Mar 6 2004

By	Stephanie (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In the Name of Love: Ann Rule's Crime Files Volume 4 (Mass Market Paperback)

I usually enjoy Ann Rule's books and have a hard time putting them down. However, in this story of a California millionaire who is murdered by a "friend"/business partner, I find that Ann Rule is a little biased in her opinion of Jerry Harris, the victim in this story. I myself found him to be yes, at times compassionate and generous to the less fortunate, but 99% of the time, I found him to be a complete show off, very shrewd, not all that honest, and greedy. I also found his "poor" wife to be somewhat of a gold digger. I just cant see this beautiful young lady interested in this man for anything other than his money, although she tries very hard to show that, that is not the case...... OK, right!!! This man definitley did not deserve to be murdered but I just did not find him as saintly as Ann Rule portrayed him to be. A real good mystery story though and it is pretty obvious right from the start who did it. Once again, Ann has done better.

2.0 out of 5 stars not the best book by Ann Rule, Jul 28 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Name of Love: Ann Rule's Crime Files Volume 4 (Mass Market Paperback)

not her best and I wonder if she should not have written it at all since she obviously didn't have enough material for a real book. She just keeps harping on the good guys being so good and the bad guys being so bad without much detail to back it up. Sad. I thought I-5 Killer, Dead by Sunset, and Everything she ever Wanted were fabulous.
