In the book, Rule describes her 20-year friendship with Bundy, whom she knew as a kind soul who staffed the late shift with her at a Seattle crisis clinic. A work of resonance and revelation with breath-stopping tension to the end. Ann Rule delves into these lives like no one else can do. I can feel the heartbreak of the surviving children. If a true crime buff has not read this book, you must do so immediately.

This led to my first questions about human behavior. The actual switch from a career of fighting crime on the streets to writing about crime came due to a physical limitation. When it became apparent my marriage was coming to an end, I thought I would go back to writing.
