Bundy dans Un tueur si proche, Ann Rule n'a pas oublié qu'elle a été flic, et la rigueur de ses investigations lui vaut un triomphe international. L'histoire qu'elle rapporte ici lui a pourtant donné du fil à retordre : elle débute comme un conte de fées, par un mariage sur une plage hawaiienne, et vire au cauchemar dans un camping de l'Oregon, à l'automne 2000. Une meurtrière dépeinte comme une figure angélique, un mort qui passe pour un monstre à abattre... Entre les partisans de l'une et de l'autre, Ann Rule démêle l'écheveau de mensonges, d'ambitions et de trahisons qui conduisit à une tragédie insensée. -- 4e de couvBy Jorge Volpi. 2001

Jo's fondness for Miss Bea is the impetus to find out just who ruined the tour, and the person she least suspects is the one she needs to watch. Set in the beautiful mountains of Colorado, Becklaw's Murder Mystery Tour is proof that sometimes the confines of the family compound is the best place to be, nutty family and all.By Caroline Scott. 2020
