peachykeenebooks's review against another edition
2.0
This book was not Rule's best, but most of the reasons weren't Rule's fault. The book starts with a drawn-out history of Wilmington, Delaware, which leads into the histories of the Capano and Fahey families. While this is easily the slowest beginning in the Ann Rule books I've ever read, it gives some much-needed background. And while the book in general was kind of repetitive (Anne Marie tries to leave Capano, he draws her back in, rinse, repeat, DEAD) that was just how the tragedy of Anne Marie Fahey went. The climax was worth it, though: it was a real nailbiter. I might give it a re-read, but don't pick up this book if you're looking for an edge-of-your-seat story.

4.5. I’ve read a lot of true crime, but this was the first I’ve read to take place in a city I grew up in and to people I or my family knew, giving it a different level of emotions. RIP to Anne Marie Fahey
