Sunday Synopsis - No Regrets

No Regrets and Other True Cases (Crime Files, #11)No Regrets and Other True Cases by Ann Rule
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ann Rule is the queen of true crime. She's an expert at crafting a narrative that shows multiple points of view, including that of the victim, detectives, prosecutors, and families. Her stories read like fiction although they are true, and capture the reader's attention with harrowing details and facts.

The main story in this collection is The Sea Captain. It is about ship pilot Rolf Neslund who disappeared at age 80. Was it a suicide? He had been responsible for a freighter crashing into the West Seattle Bridge costing millions of dollars. Did he simply go back to live with relatives in Norway? Or did he simply disappear? His financially controlling wife Ruth is also at the center of the mystery that occurred on Lopez Island.

There are six other shorter tales, equally as riveting as the main story. But remember, these aren't just stories. They are actual crimes, and no one else could do them as much literary justice as Rule.
