Sue Wieser said Losing her edge, maybe. I used to wait anxiously for every new Ann Rule book. While, I don't judge this one as harshly as the last "Losing her edge, maybe" according to Sue Wieser. I used to wait anxiously for every new Ann Rule book. While, I don't judge this one as harshly as the last 2, because it was more than one story, I just have a feeling that Mr Rule is losing her edge. I believe getting too close and letting her personal feelings sway the way she writes, definitely hurts the telling of the story. And while I know that was what was wrong with her last 2 full length stories, I'm going to reserve that judgment for the next one. As far as this book, the 1st 2 stories were somewhat captivating, but the ones after that were very dull.

Her mother, a popular local realtor, never stopped looking for her killer. Three decades ago, Jackie Schut was considered one of the most prolific "baby sellers" in the country. Her unforgettable accounts will intrigue you, and once again prove the obvious: that Rule is "America's best true-crime writer" (Kirkus Reviews).
