Decent character study of a narcissistic lunatic. A bit too long and it is dry as someone said earlier. Definitely worth reading for fans of the genre.

As always, the book far exceeds the movie. I was enthralled from the moment that I picked it up.

A chilling story of the generations of harm done by incest. It drove a woman to murder her children in an ultimate plea for love and attention.

What an excelent book. Diane Downs is complete sociopath and pathelogical liar. Once again Ann Rule takes you right there.

Diane Downs...what a crazy, psychotic woman. This is a fabulously told tale about a woman who would do...and did do..just about anything to get what she wanted. Just amazing.

I really enjoyed this book although it was a sad story. I like to read true stories and this didn't disappoint. I wanted to google the story after I finished the book. I would like to read another Ann Rule book because of this one.

Diane Down's is a sick sick lady. How could anyone shoot their kids just so a man would be with you. She just couldn't see that he just didn't want her anymore.
