Summary: Gripping Tales of True Crime
Comment: Ann Rule is a natural when it comes to writing true crime novels. Empty Promises recounts several cases where the search for love brought only lies and betrayal for those who trust too much too soon. You begin to realize that these are just ordinary people who's lives changed forever. This is just another Ann Rule book that will haunt you.

Summary: Ann Rule "going through the motions"....
Comment: In yet another installment of Ann Rule's collection of true crime stories we see Ann Rule at her worst. Well I should say that at her best Ann Rule does a brilliant job of analyzing criminals, victims, crimes and the US justice system. She has the knack of drilling down into minute detail without being boring. However with 'Empty Promises...' the author doesn't go into any detail and, worse, the stories she relates are your basic slasher crimes; we've seen them all before (and were grossed out).
At the very least Ann Rule still writes in a very readable, personable sort of way. So the book is a painless waste of time. If Ms. Rule reads this review can I ask her, as a loyal fan, to dispense with these half-hearted stories (as an attempt to cash in on her name?) and give us more classics like 'If You Really Loved Me' or 'Dead By Sunset'.
Bottom line: Ann Rule on a very off day. Don't waste your money.
Rating: 3
Summary: Not Her Best
Comment: Fans of Ann Rule will enjoy reading this. However, it is by no means her best story. The characters and story are fairly simple compared to the topics that she usually writes about. As a result, this one is no nearly as suspenseful, making it impossible to really get involved in the story.
