RIP Ann Rule: true crime writer

[Jondalar]

She wrote the novel The Stranger Beside Me (Ted Bundy). She also wrote many others including Small Sacrifices (Diane Downs) and Everything She Ever Wanted (Patricia Allison). Those two are my favorites.

She was my favorite author in that genre.

Yesterday also died the great italian writer Sebastiano Vassalli, the top nominee for the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature.
A death is always a tragedy but it's sad that nowadays media continuosly stress little useless things about starlets but the passing of an important mind and talent is totally overlooked.
