Chronicle During Books No Regrets and Other True Cases (Crime Files #11)
A ship's pilot legendary for guiding mammoth freighters through the narrows of Puget Sound, Rolf Neslund was a proud Norwegian, a ladies' man, and a beloved resident of Washington State's idyllic Lopez Island. Virtually indestructible even into his golden years, he made electrifying headlines more than once: after a ship he was helming crashed into the soaring West Seattle Bridge, causing millions in damages; and following his inexplicable disappearance at age 80. Was he a suicide, a man broken by one costly misstep? Had he run off with a lifelong love? Or did a trail of gruesome evidence lead to the home Rolf shared with his wife, Ruth? On an island where everyone thought they knew their neighbors, the veneer of the Neslunds' marriage masked a convoluted case that took many years to solve. And, indeed, some still believe that the old sea captain will come home one day. "The Sea Captain" is a classic tale as blood chilling as murder itself. Along with six other equally riveting, detailed accounts of destruction and murder committed without conscience or regret, Ann Rule takes readers into frightening places they never could have imagined in No Regrets.Point Books Concering No Regrets and Other True Cases (Crime Files #11)

I miss Ann Rule. Most true crime books are so disgusting albeit fascinating that I feel awful after reading them with some exceptions. Ms Rule always exudes so much empathy and sympathy for victims that she always seemed like a person I would like to have known. A very caring person yet that doesn't keep her storytelling and reporting of hard facts any less admirable. She really always holds my attention. I may even go back and read some of her books again. This one was good. My attention wasAnn Rule is a compassionate author. She knows her subject matter is sensitive and so she shows no judgement, allowing the reader to accept the facts and make their own determination. This stories are all from the pacific northwest, and Ann Rule gives the history around the particular stories, giving more background than you would expect. It is an interesting read.
Money, money, money.... what a scary power you have on human beings.
i like my true crime stories .
Ann Rule's books are full of lessons, explicit and implicit. These lessons often have to do with being alert, paying attention to our own feelings of alarm or distrust, and learning how not to be a victim. In No Regrets, the reader gets more insight into the minds and motives of the killers than those of the victims--who, after all, are dead and gone by the time their stories are told in courtrooms and newspapers. And there are lessons here, too.For example, in the first, book-length story
It is hard to rate this book. Mostly, I found it strangely attractive, and being somewhat compulsive anyway, I kept on reading even when it wasn't much fun. With one exception, I thought the stories rated 2 stars at the most.These true crime stories focus on how real-world trials go (not like Perry Mason at all), on the hard work of the police detectives in trying to get the evidence needed, the role of experts in forensic matters, and of course the evil in the hearts of the perpetrators,
As per always Ann, I couldn't put this book down.
