Only Ann could tell you a true story you knew the ending to and keep you up all night to read the last page.. I will miss her genius. I send my deepest sympathy to her family. May you find comfort in your memories.

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Ann's passing. I had no knowledge that she had been ill. At a store today I found myself looking for Ann Rules' newest book, when I realized there won't be anymore. I feel as though I've lost an old friend. May she rest in peace and may the Lord watch over her loved ones.

I have a broken heart, I feel I have lost a close and dear friend. I have been reading Ann Rule's books from the start, always looking forward to the next one. She has kept alive the victims, the surviving victims and families. Rest In Peace My Dear Friend...........

I had to post again, as I am feeling like two sentences was just not enough. I do live in WA, Seattle/ Tacoma has been my home for many years and am an Oregonian. I've known of Ann most of my life as I have two older sisters, one that was just the right age and wanted to party in Seattle during green river. I loved Ann's compilation books! She was also in LE herself, and although Bundy is her claim to fame, she was SO SO much more than that, and it is so sad to know she is gone. What a strong voice for women, a strong literary presence! I hope her family does what Louis Lamours did and publishes unfinished books they find!!

Ann had a unique and rare away of putting her readers into the victim's and their families' shoes and those of the people who worked to solve the crimes against those victims unlike so many stories about crime that focus on the suspects. She was a true advocate of law and justice at the ground level. She will always be remembered for her contribution to her readers and law enforcement.

I've read all Ann's books-and waited anxiously waiting for each one to be published--what a wonderful writer--no one can replace her--I thought she was probably in her early 60's and was surprised to find she is only 3 years older than myself so thankfully I will not have to spend a lot of time without her--I feel we were sisters from different Mothers--my best to her family and all others that loved her--

I've read a lot of Ann's books over the years. All well written & to the point. There will never be another Ann Rule.
The book she wrote about Ted Bundy was spell-binding. Goes to show you, you don't know who you live next to or who you work with. Rest in peace. God Bless.

I feel like I've lost a friend. I started reading Ann's books in the late 70's and have continued to this day. She was the best about getting to the personalities of the crimes. And she always gave credit to the police and legal team. Ann, you opened my eyes about many things. I am really going to miss you.

My thoughts go out to Ann's family. I am one of her biggest fans of her true crime books. She was a pioneer of true crime, having lived it as a police officer, then a writer and author of true crime. She will be missed. RIP, Ann.
