The strap line on the English edition of this book carries the words The World s No 1 True Crime Writer and a read of this mammoth volume shows the reason why Ann Rule has that billing.As an investigative piece of true crime writing it is exhaustive and covers every aspect of a horrifying and very sad case Thomas Capano is the protagonist and he is known as The Deadly Seducer for good reason he was a serial womaniser and control freak.As an attorney he had a good understanding of the law that he [...]

I have to say that this ended up being my favorite true crime book by Ann Rule I think the main reason is that this one stayed really focused on not only the the accused, but also the victim and other women in this man s orbit Usually Rule s books start to read as formulaic with her going into the background of every cop, prosecutor, and judge and you start go get bored Or at least I do But I think that Rule stayed very focused on the victim Anne Marie Fahey And Never Let Her Go goes into the ba [...]

So many people in the true crime world are always saying she was the best but definitely not agreeing with them on this book She is so biased it gets annoying She is constantly making up excuses for some as if her readers do not have a mind of their own we are being force fed.This is one older standalone book of her I own but never have read and I can t see when she wrote this but having read so many excellent true crime books now, my eyes have opened to the flaws of her books So annoying The fi [...]

One of the things that reading Man Apes or Ape Men The Story of Discoveries in Africa reminded me of is how important taxonomy is The way human beings are wired means that 1 it s hard for us to talk about things we don t have names for and 2 we understand the world by categorization and comparison, so being able to put like things together in groups is an incredibly powerful conceptual tool It s true in biology and geology and meteorology it s true in literary studies, where if there s a theory [...]

Last half reads quicklyHaving read several of Rule s books, I can say this one is my least favorite as the first half drags with character exposition The second ha f moves briskly and compellingly.

while i ve never read a true crime book before, i don t think i like this type of book there was way too much detail and it took forever to actually get into the story line the first part of the book describe the characters ancestors i don t see a point in reading about a person s grandparents, it didn t matter in the plot as much as i wanted to put this book down, i didn t because i wanted to see what happened in the end.

And Never Let Her Go tells the real life story of a manipulative, controlling seducer wealthy lawyer Thomas Capano and his plot and the subsequent carrying out of said plot to murder one of his many mistresses scheduling secretary Anne Marie Fahey , whom he sought to control and could not The amount of detail that Ms Rule crams into this novel s 400 pages is impressive, at once a gift and a curse You re never left wanting when it comes to the details of the ensuing investigation no stone is left [...]

its the first time I have read a true crime story It was really addictive because the lives of the people described were all real Its like peering into someone s window and observing all that is going on inside, but not having to feel ashamed about it The author had a biased view of the victim, she the victim kinda brought it upon herself to be in a position of danger But friendships and relationships can be complicated like that, sometimes people tend to ignore their gut feelings and intuitions [...]

Amazing read The book was pretty lengthy but it was filled with a lot of interesting facts on the case Rule really did extensive research on this case and the circumstances surrounding it I had seen a Dateline special on the Tom Capano case but this book really topped that It was very sad that Ann Marie s body was never found I can t even begin to imagine what her family must have gone through to not be able to give her a final goodbye and to know what she is somewhere in the ocean Tom was a sel [...]

This is the best book by Ann Rule that I ve read.Well written and well researched It had me hooked from start to finish.I had to Google to find out what happened to Tom Capano At first I was disappointed to learn that he had died in prison I felt he deserved to live a long and unhappy life behind bars But my second thought was that he didn t deserved to live A cold, ruthless, conniving, manipulative thoroughly evil man, he would no doubt have caused pain and suffering had he lived.A heart break [...]

Having read some exceptional true crime books over the past year has set my bar for the genre pretty high Books like Death in Little Egypt Fatal Vision provided an excellent insight into the psyche and crimes of virtual sociopaths while also illuminating the people around them A truly excellent true crime work must explore not only the villain but the society around him or her while also glancing unblinkingly into the crime, the criminal and the victim Having remembered the Anne Marie Fahey murd [...]

Ann Rule certainly knows how to dissect a murder She goes deep into the life of the victim as well as the murderer himself But something is missing The way Anne Marie died her last moments on earth will forever remain unknown And the killers psyche is likewise unknowable Still, I often wondered about this crime since reading about it in the newspaper years ago, and Ann Rule answered most of my questions Rule is fixated on the crime beat, and she is good at her trade I wonder if she has nightmare [...]

By the time I finished reading this book, I felt as if I knew the people in this true story It was fascinating to get inside the mind of Tom Capano, who was very obviously a narcissist The girl he wooed ,stalked, and murdered that he put under his spell was the girl next door One of those books you can t put down.

As usual Ann Rule s research into true crime is captivating and flawless You all read in the news about the death of Anne Marie Fahey, the trusted secretary to Delaware s Governor, we even blamed him for it If you want the truth ask Rule.

I am a huge fan of Anne Rule, but this was simply not her best work While the second half of the book is superb to the point, suspenseful, with key points of the crime and resulting trial revealed with her characteristic intimate style the first half of the book is overflowing with unnecessary, boring, gossipy details, and the onslaught of unabashedly biased justifications for every single action of the victim and Tom Capano s mistress was insulting and annoying Every less than angelic action of [...]

I read somewhere that this was arguably Ann Rule s best book I don t think anything compares to her Bundy book, so I decided to try it on audio About half way through the book I realized I was listening to the abridged version, so I thought maybe I should read it And then I saw that the print copy was over 600 pages so I decided abridged audio would be just fine Honestly, this was about one guy who killed one woman, I just cannot imagine what she could have gone on 600 pages about It was mildly [...]

This is yet another true crime story by the best true crime author in the business This one is about the disappearance of Anne Marie Fahey, a well loved and popular woman in Delaware who had a secret relationship with a prominent attorney, Thomas Capano My one complaint with this book is that she spends an inordinate amount of time setting up the crime, and developing all of the characters that by the time you get to the actual crime, one is starting to consider walking away from it After readin [...]

Excellent book by Ann Rule I couldn t put this book down I loved how Ann Rule delved deep into the backgrounds of the main characters This is one of those books that shows you a person can seem like a wonderful person but he really isn t, and he has this victim mentality that makes people want to love him and in reality he is just out to be worshiped and his anger has no boundaries because he has no morals and serves only himself Obviously someone dies in this book, and it is a tragedy that she [...]

My first Ann Rule was a success I m still not sure that a history of each family going back 3 generations was really necessary but other than that and being annoyed that the spelling of Anne Marie s name kept going back and forth between Anne and Ann, I enjoyed this volume.
