Crime Files

review 1: Overall, an OK book. I usually enjoy true crime novels, but this just seemed to lack a lot of depth and I noticed numerous spelling and grammatical errors! I felt like it was dashed off in in an attempt to fulfill some deadline. I also felt that Anne Rule kept repeating herself in order to fill up space instead of really giving us new and different insight into the criminals as the stories progressed. I was just hoping for something a bit more... It is an easy read but one that I might save for the beach or a bus ride.
review 2: LITERALLY LACKING, March 6, 2010 By Bookworm (St. George Utah) - See all my reviewsMost of Ann Rule's books could be utilized by any theological group as a hand-book for "The Seven Deadly Sins". With "BUT I TRUSTED YOU" most of th... moree crimes committed in the seven stories covered seem to focus on the evils of GREED and LUST coupled with too much trust. If this book is any indication, it would appear that Washington state is not a good place to reside if you hope to live a long and fruitful life since most of the victims are (or should I say were) from that locale. (Perhaps it's just a case of boredom precipitated by all the rain and grey days that is driving people to commit unspeakable crimes, who knows?) This is definitely not the best of Ann Rule's offerings. I much preferred her novels The Stranger Beside Me, Too Late to Say Goodbye, Small Sacrifices and Dead by Sunset where she focused on just one case and really lead the reader into the chilling sociopathic deviousness of the killer's mind. BUT I TRUSTED YOU does not have the depth of these novels and appears to be a "quickie" written to fulfill a commitment to her publisher. For this reason 2 ½ stars. less
