An excellent book by the best true crime author :Ann Rule

Of course there will be be some that disagree with the title of my review but I'm sticking to it! I have every one of Ann's books, and I have not been dissapointed. The lady can tell a story. I purchased this book with seconds to spare before I had to board a plane from ATL to LAX. Oh what a sad story this is.. Bart Corbin(the villan) through his own admission, took two lives for absolutely no reason at all other than to satisfy his own pychotic, demented views: They were going to leave him, and he couldn't let that happen. Two families devasted, children left without a mother, and the senseless loss of a loved one, taken in an instant by a monster. This is a horrible story whether or not you like the way it was written. I wish I could give it 10 stars.
A Compelling Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I live in the Atlanta area and was very much aware of the media coverage of the Corbin case. Jennifer's death, as you will discover from the book, was first reported as suicide, but no one I knew believed this. Bart Corbin's callousness, not only toward his victims, but toward his children, is truly chilling, and Anne Rule paints a great portrait of two families who are tarnished by that callousness. These were lovely, compassionate women, and Anne Rule helps to see what a great loss their deaths were to their friends and families. At least Jennifer's death caused authorities to re-open Dolly Hearn's case; who knows how many more victims may have been saved by this? This book is, as another poster said, a real page-turner.
Her Best Yet

Don't get me wrong. I enjoy ALL of Ann Rule's books, but to me this is her best one yet. It is full of information and interviews, and by the end of the book you feel as if you knew Jenn Corbin & Dolly Hearn personally. Read this book, you will not be disppointed. It is well written and accurate.
