@Jessica, Anne Rule was probably my favorite True Crime author. Another book….Doc by Jack Olson …. and Son by Jack @Yolanda Google True Crime Books and see what comes up.
Wonderful. Im reading one by Anne Rule also right now. Stranger Beside Me. I found it with my stash from Salvation Army yesterday believe it or not. I was so excited.
Not in the close area. Closest is over an hour away and would have to find a sitter and all so I doubt I will be able to see it until it’s released on dvd or available for stream.

There are a lot of good true crime authors on FB. My favorites are @Caitlin, Gregg Olsen, M W Phelps, @Diane, Kathryn Casey, @Fred, John Foxjohn, @Steve, @Ron, just to name a few.
Great true crime authors: Ann Rule, Joe Mcginnis. @Kathryn, @Caitlin, @Sue, @Diane, Suzy Spencer, John Glatt, Wensley Clarkson, Gregg Olsen, Jack Olsen, Corey Mitchell, @Ron, @Steve, @John/John Foxjohn, just off the top of my head.
@Lisa No, I believe that was in Washington state or Oregon, where they did their bank robberies. I have been by the sculptor’s studio in Great Falls, VA, where I lived as a child. Scurlock grew up in Reston, which was minutes away from me. I can’t remember why they went so far away to rob banks. It has been years since I’ve read this, but it was such a great read.
Yes, it’s a great read. I’d forgotten that scurlock was originally from Va. It has been awhile since I read it. lol It’s been one of my favorites of Ann’s ever since I read it.
I can’t remember why they went so far away to Rob banks either..but that book really was interesting..so bizarre ! For some reason ,Spokane ,Washington is coming to me ?
I’ve read a lot of Ann Rule books but apparently missed this one…you got me interested now being a VA girl with relatives that lived in Spokane. Must read this! lol
@Kathy It was so good. I won’t spoil the ending for you, but it was a really good read, they went all out in their robberies, wore prosthetic makeup. I think t was so intriguing for me because some of them grew up where I did.
Anything by Ann Rule, Katherine Casey, Caitlin Rother, Gregg Olsen, Jack Olsen…..oh the list goes on. You can’t go wrong with any of the authors that I just mentioned. 🙂
It was okay…I’m usually a big true crime reader but I also read by my mood…you know sometimes I feel like I need something light or funny…so maybe it was just me. I keep saying I’m going to go back and read it but have read a lot more books – no true crime
I understand, It was the opposite for me, I just finished The Christmas Train and that was TOO light for me, not my normal read, I kind of hurried through it so I could dive into Dating game killer LOL
Midnight in the garden of Good and evil by Berendt is the best true crime I have ever read, hands down. It’s an older title, but a classic. Reads like a novel.
Death Cruise by Don Davis; Into the Water by Diane Fanning Happened in my hometown…my husband and I worked for an ambulance service and assisted with the search and I ran volunteer rescue with the father and sister of one victim.
Anything by M William Phelps, @Caitlin right now I am reading Beautifully Cruel by M William Phelps

Has anyone read My Friend Dahmer?
Yes! I loved it
I have it and love it. Wished they would have had the film playing somewhere near me but only 50 cities across America played it.
Is it gonna hit theatres that you know of?
Not in the close area. Closest is over an hour away and would have to find a sitter and all so I doubt I will be able to see it until it’s released on dvd or available for stream.
I saw it Thursday night. It was excellent!
That’s awesome! I’m more excited now.

I read a book once and forgot the author and title, but it was awesome. It was about bank robbers who lived where I grew up. Going to google it.
It was Ann Rule, lol Awesome ]read!!
One of my favorites of Ann Rule’s.
@Lisa I grew up where these people did.
Oh really? How interesting @Rebecca. Did you ever see the tree house scurlock built?
@Lisa No, I believe that was in Washington state or Oregon, where they did their bank robberies. I have been by the sculptor’s studio in Great Falls, VA, where I lived as a child. Scurlock grew up in Reston, which was minutes away from me. I can’t remember why they went so far away to rob banks. It has been years since I’ve read this, but it was such a great read.
Yes, it’s a great read. I’d forgotten that scurlock was originally from Va. It has been awhile since I read it. lol
It’s been one of my favorites of Ann’s ever since I read it.
@Lisa Mine, too and I have read many of her books.
So do I. lol
Her books are ones that I’ll read over n over again.
I can’t remember why they went so far away to Rob banks either..but that book really was interesting..so bizarre ! For some reason ,Spokane ,Washington is coming to me ?
@Juliana I think you are right
I think they didn’t want to hit banks to close to home.
@Lisa that could have been it, they had a connection in Washington, not sure what
Yeah..I’m thinking for some reason..a woman ,school ,etc. Spurlock had been out there a little while.
Somebody dig up the book..lololol..I gave mine away awhile back !
I think one of the boys was from around there. They met in Hawaii and wound up in Washington State.
@Lisa..you’ve got to say you’re from NORTH CAROLINA..it’s not just you and I on here..lolol lmao
I’ve read a lot of Ann Rule books but apparently missed this one…you got me interested now being a VA girl with relatives that lived in Spokane. Must read this! lol
@Kathy It was so good. I won’t spoil the ending for you, but it was a really good read, they went all out in their robberies, wore prosthetic makeup. I think t was so intriguing for me because some of them grew up where I did.
I’m going to buy it!

Why didn’t you finish it? You didn’t like it?
It was okay…I’m usually a big true crime reader but I also read by my mood…you know sometimes I feel like I need something light or funny…so maybe it was just me. I keep saying I’m going to go back and read it but have read a lot more books – no true crime
I understand, It was the opposite for me, I just finished The Christmas Train and that was TOO light for me, not my normal read, I kind of hurried through it so I could dive into Dating game killer LOL

Now you got me thinking about going back to the book…hmmm lol
