Summary
 The thirteenth entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series from the “prolific and talented” (Publishers Weekly) Ann Rule focuses on crime victims who had no idea they were in life-threatening danger, often from the very people they trusted the most.

In this collection’s featured case, a family man dedicated to naturopathic healing embarks on a passionate affair with a flight attendant, but his jealous rages frighten her. When she finally leaves after a brutal attack, she has no idea that her tormentor would reappear in her life—with deadly consequences.

Other cases include: a woman who masterminds her husband’s murder just to gain his inheritance; the sadistic criminal whose prison release damages a presidential campaign and ends in a bitter double tragedy; the shocking DNA link between a horrifying crime and a cold case; and finally, the man who crisscrosses the world in deadly pursuit of a beautiful woman.

Once again, the country’s best true crime writer brings her “absolutely riveting…psychologically perspective” (Booklist) insight to a chilling look how sometimes those we love the most can be the most dangerous. Con Artists, Hoaxes & Deceptions Crime Murder True Crime Exciting Scary

Ann Rule is my favourite true crime author. She delves deeply into the perpetrators’ and victims’ childhoods and lives leading up to the victim’s death. This for me makes the story easier to understand the why and how the crime happened making it more interesting as human behaviour never ceases to intrigue me.

The audio reader did not disappoint.
If I didn’t know better, I would have thought it was Ann herself reading the story.
