Sinossi
Una sera del giugno 1966 Anne Marie Fahey, trent'anni, segretaria del governatore del Delaware, scompare senza lasciare traccia mentre si sta recando a un appuntamento con colui che è il suo amante segreto da oltre due anni: Thomas Capano. Tra le figure più importanti e rispettate della città, «Tommy» è un avvocato di grido, carismatico, affascinante, ammirato. Ma nei mesi che seguono la scomparsa di Anne Marie, gl'investigatori scoprono lentamente la verità: Capano era un feroce manipolatore, guidato soltanto dal potere e dall'avidità, capace di legare a sé un gran numero di donne grazie a una completa sottomissione psicologica. Le indagini puntano nell'unica direzione possibile, l'omicidio volontario, ma mancano gli elementi chiave: il cadavere, l'arma del delitto... Attingendo a testimonianze, diari dei protagonisti, lettere e e-mail, e aggiungendo una formidabile analisi delle motivazioni perverse di un killer, Ann Rule ci racconta una vera tragedia di orrori e ambizioni, passioni e ossessioni, in cui una giovane donna vulnerabile paga il prezzo più alto in una relazione contorta e mortale.

The strap line on the English edition of this book carries the words 'The World's No. 1 True Crime Writer' and a read of this mammoth volume shows the reason why Ann Rule has that billing. As an investigative piece of true crime writing it is exhaustive and covers every aspect of a horrifying and ver Leggi tutto
4.5 stars. Perhaps a little long-winded but so meticulously researched and well-handled.
"Fear often begins with the slightest niggle that something taken for granted can no longer be trusted". And Never Let Her Go: Thomas Capano: The Deadly Seducer by Ann Rule I had to DNF this one. Not because it was not well written. Rule was a fantastic writer and I have read so many of her books. But Leggi tutto
So many people in the true crime world are always saying she was the best but definitely not agreeing with them on this book. She is so biased it gets annoying. She is constantly making up excuses for some as if her readers do not have a mind of their own we are being force fed. This is one older st Leggi tutto
One of the things that reading Man-Apes or Ape-Men?: The Story of Discoveries in Africa reminded me of is how important taxonomy is. The way human beings are wired means that (1) it's hard for us to talk about things we don't have names for and (2) we understand the world by categorization and compa Leggi tutto
while i've never read a true crime book before, i don't think i like this type of book. there was way too much detail and it took forever to actually get into the story line. the first part of the book describe the characters ancestors. i don't see a point in reading about a person's grandparents, i Leggi tutto
When a rich, politically well connected, manipulative, sociopath met, lured, and seduced 30 year old Anne Marie Fahey, her life and those of others dramatically changed. Impressionable and vulnerable, Anne Marie knew he was married and the father of four, but she did not know that he also had concurr Leggi tutto
