Summary: This book does not give enough background on main characters
Comment: I read this book in much the same way as I have read Ann Rule's other books: fast. While I enjoy her books, Ann Rule does not define the main characters here as much as she has in say, "Everything She Ever Wanted." For instances, why did Jerry Harris get his nose broken three times if he was such a saint? Why didn't Ms. Rule do more research into the character of Steve? I would have preferred to look at this story from the angle of how someone is set up to be a good guy, a scapegoat, and how they play it out over their lives. I was irritated overall by Ann Rules one-dimensional view of everyone. And I did not like being made a part of Susan and Jerry's schemes to outwit others as part of a cute joke.

Summary: Great read, but not exactly objective!
Comment: Ann Rule can certainly put together a page-turner. The problem is, her stories of true life crime lacks all objectivity. In this installment, Jerry Harris is as perfect a human being as one could imagine, and so doggone naive about his "best friend" you have to wonder if he's not just a big-hearted doofus. I love Ann's books and I read every one them, but I really wish that she would paint her characters three dimensionally--the "good guy" isn't perfect, and the "bad guy" must have some good in him/her or the "good guy" wouldn't have been so duped!

Summary: Ann Rule is a little one sided here......
Comment: I usually enjoy Ann Rule's books and have a hard time putting them down. However, in this story of a California millionaire who is murdered by a "friend"/business partner, I find that Ann Rule is a little biased in her opinion of Jerry Harris, the victim in this story. I myself found him to be yes, at times compassionate and generous to the less fortunate, but 99% of the time, I found him to be a complete show off, very shrewd, not all that honest, and greedy. I also found his "poor" wife to be somewhat of a gold digger. I just cant see this beautiful young lady interested in this man for anything other than his money, although she tries very hard to show that, that is not the case...... OK, right!!! This man definitley did not deserve to be murdered but I just did not find him as saintly as Ann Rule portrayed him to be. A real good mystery story though and it is pretty obvious right from the start who did it. Once again, Ann has done better.
