Ilustration To Books Every Breath You Take: A True Story of Obsession, Revenge, and Murder

America’s #1 true-crime writer fulfills a murder victim’s desperate plea with this shattering New York Times bestseller.

“If anything ever happens to me…find Ann Rule and ask her to write my story.”

In perhaps the first true-crime book written at the victim's request, Ann Rule untangles a web of lies and brutality that culminated in the murder of Sheila Blackthorne Bellush—a woman Rule never met, but whose shocking story she now chronicles with compassion, exacting detail, and unvarnished candor.

Although happily ensconced in a loving second marriage, and a new family of quadruplets, Sheila never truly escaped the vicious enslavement of her ex-husband, multi-millionaire Allen Blackthorne, a handsome charmer— and a violent, controlling sociopath who subjected Sheila to unthinkable abuse in their marriage, and terrorized her for a decade after their divorce. When Sheila was slain in her home, in the presence of her four toddlers, authorities raced to link the crime to Blackthorne, the man who vowed to monitor Sheila's every move in his obsessive quest for power and revenge.

Notice About Books Every Breath You Take: A True Story of Obsession, Revenge, and Murder

Let me preface this rating by saying my opinion of this book is not a reflection of my feelings towards the murder of Sheila Blackthorne Bellush. Her murder was tragic, unnecessary, and senseless. The low rating is primarily due to the writing style. I understand that Ann Rule is a highly respected True Crime author and I typically enjoy her work too. With that said, Every Breath You Take was filled with too much redundant and pointless information. For example, Ms. Rule details the background

I must say that for a nonfiction book, this read like a novel. I was intrigued and disgusted by the case, and I wanted justice done! A very good book. I will definitely read more of Ann Rule in the future.

If Ann rule wants a simple story of right and wrong, then she should pick a simple story in which there is clearly a victim and clearly an evil person and there is no overlap. If she chooses to pick a more complex case, like this case, then she should have enough respect for the intelligence and analytical thinking skills of her readers to represent the details of the complex case as such. Rule chooses murder cases that I am interested in. Despite the fact that she is a profoundly terrible

I've read almost all of Ann Rule's true crime books, and they are always gripping -- even if you already know the outcome of the story. The key is the psychological portrait she draws of each character, especially victim and murderer. Guarantee: whenever I start an Ann Rule book, I won't be able to put it down. This book was no exception.

Perpetrator displays hideous traits quite similar to the creature elected president of the United States in 2016.

The true crime writer Ann Rule did it splendidly again here. This here, besides, Anthony Trollope, she has risen to the top of my list as one of my most read authors. In the past, I used to avoid anything to do with true crime and preferred the age old law reports which are bereft of the impact and distraught which some crimes cause to the victims. Through her books, Ann Rule has contributed greatly to the American Criminal Justice System. Here, we meet with Allen Van Houte aka Blackthorne. A

The first part of the book is hard to read because of so much detail into the pasts of the people in the book. After about 70 pages or so Is when you get roped into the true crime story of a beautiful mother murdered in front of her children at the hands of a killer hired by her crazy obsessed ex husband. This is so hard to put down and so incredibly sad.
