From Publishers Weekly

Rule, who scored a great success with Small Sacrifices , has triumphed again with this story of a millionaire computer expert seen as archetypal sociopath. In 1985 Southern Californian David Brown arranged, with the connivance of his 17-year-old sister-in-law, Patti, to have his daughter by his first marriage, 14-year-old Cinnamon, shoot and kill his 23-year-old wife, Linda. Apprehended, Cinnamon pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a 27-year term, keeping silent about the roles of her father, aged 32, and Patti in the murder. Eventually, however, she did implicate the pair, now-married, and they were arrested. From his jail cell Brown plotted the murders of Patti, the investigator and prosecutor on the case, but the convicts he enlisted to carry out his scheme betrayed him, bringing further charges. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, while Patti was placed in the custody of the California Youth Authority. In this vivid account, a monster to whom every other human being was a "throwaway person" is masterfully potrayed. Photos not seen by PW. 150,000 first printing; $125,000 ad/promo; author tour.

From Library Journal

Best-selling true crime author Rule ( Small Sacrifices , NAL, 1987) tells the story of computer businessman David Brown, a "complete sociopath" who manipulated his 14-year-old daughter, Cinnamon, into murdering his 23-year-old wife in Orange County, California in 1985. Brown collected some $800,000 in insurance money and married his wife's 17-year-old sister while Cinnamon went to the reformatory. Despite her "confession," prosecuting investigator Jay Newell felt uneasy about Cinnamon's alleged vague and trivial motives. He continued to pursue the case and in 1990 Brown was convicted of masterminding his wife's murder. This lengthy account is generally engrossing, and it is recommended for public libraries.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Especially enjoyed this one, Avril 26 2004
Par Anne Henry (Buena Park, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
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!

3.0étoiles sur 5 Ann Rule is a little one sided here......, Mars 6 2004
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.

2.0étoiles sur 5 not the best book by Ann Rule, Juil 28 2003
Par Un client
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.
