Whoa Dianne, me too! I read a lot of Ann Rule. Anyway, I agree with what the other ladies have said as well. If it's well written, it isn't just "trash." There's a reason for the words, scenes, etc. (that others might call R-rated), and they fit so well into the story line. A book that can bring out the best of my senses, FEAR, LAUGHTER, SENSUAL, etc...is a good book and worth the read if you ask me. I don't like blood and guts. I can watch the nightly news for that.
