Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Small Sacrifices

This is a book you wish was fiction instead of true crime of a sociopathic mother. This woman always wanted to be loved by men she couldn't have yet was relentless in her pursuit of one married man. I don't want to say too much
and spoil the story. This is a fascinating story of a Narcissus and a calculated killer who committed the ultimate vicious heartbreaking crimes, hence the name Small Sacrifices! This book is very comprehensive in all the events in
Diane Downs life and covers the trial and everything before and after the trial. Be forewarned this is a very true story and is so heartbreaking but the author writes in a style where you want to stop reading yet you're compelled to continue on because you need to know more about this monster and Anne Rule will give you all the answers and more. In the end you still have one question. How could she really do these things? Why? Why? Why?

Commentary Regarding Books Small Sacrifices

Anne Rule is an incredible writer. She has a knack for hooking her audience and telling tales too horrific to believe they are true. I think she sets up stories well and has you turning each page as quickly as you can to find out how it all ends. However, my only complaint about her style of writing is that she almost always seems to portray her subjects are more beautiful than they truly are. The men are extraordinarily handsome. The woman are beyond attractive. Granted, this is subjective, but

This is one of the best books from Ann Rule's best stretch of writing, from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. "Small Sacrifices" is leaner, fairer and more balanced than Rule's bloated, often slanted later works in which saccharine philosophizing pushes its way into the narratives. The irony is that a lot of people mostly Diane Downs supporters, who, nearly three decades later are still legion will be happy to tell you that "Small Sacrifices" is one of her most biased works. That's because

A fascinating crime will always transfer to a good true crime book as long as its well written and Small Sacrifices is pure class. Theres crazy criminals and then theres Diane Downs whos way way out there on her own far distant universe. As this is public record I dont think ill be ruining it for anyone when I explain the story. On May 19th 1983 Diane, along with her three children, pulled up at her local hospital in a blood drenched car. All four passengers had gun shot related injuries

I'll never forget the "live"(from prison)interview of the female monster of this book on the "Oprah" show some years back. It was the only time I ever saw (of the few times I ever watched the show,of course(Ha)),Oprah get so angry that had - that woman(monster)of been in studio with her-Oprah wanted to and would have physically beaten her down. Of course,to the delight and cheers of the audience. This book will absolutely put a knot in your stomach,that to some degree, I truly believe never

Great review, Erin!

My favorite Ann Rule book. I believe this book convinced me to be a true crime writer. Amazing character development with outstanding research.
