Rendition Conducive To 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?

I re-read this book every few years. Quite a few years ago, I worked for a magazine publisher focusing on law enforcement organizations, i.e. police chiefs, sheriffs, troopers, etc. One of the Oregon troopers was familiar with this case and the various law enforcement people involved, and mentioned that Ann Rule was writing a book about it. Couldn't wait to read the book back then, and I still feel the same sense of heartbreak each time I read it.2019: Reread this book and am still awed by

I remember when Farrah Fawcett played Diane in a TV movie, years ago, and found myself still remembering bits of that when reading this last night. Diane is a fascinating, scary character, and it is so sad that she did so much damage to her children. Having just Googled for updates, she was denied parole in 2010, and won't be eligible even for a hearing until 2020. I hope she never gets out.

Ann Rule wrote mediocre books, good books, and excellent books. This is one of the excellent ones.It makes an interesting companion to The Stranger Beside Me; Diane Downs is strongly reminiscent of Ted Bundy, even down to the chameleon quality they share; just as with Bundy, any two photographs of Diane Downs might, on a casual glance, seem to be of two completely different people. And, of course, like Bundy, Downs is a sociopath.(There are a lot of different words to describe people like Bundy

Feels weird to rate a true crime book about a woman who tried to murder her three kids with a "I really liked it". But I was very interested in the story and thought it well written and very balanced between the legal side and the emotional side. As someone who likes to learn about the human psych this was hard to put down. Not sure if there is a more diverse, strange person to study then Diane Downs. This lady is nuts! And even so, even so I could not help the tiny voice in the back of my mind

That's it... I'm done with Ann Rule. Peace, sister.I've been in the mood for true crime lately, and I was inspired to pick up Small Sacrifices by my fond memories of Rule's The Stranger Beside Me, which I read in high school. I remember really enjoying that book, but after finishing this one I'm doubting my memories. I am SO disappointed with Small Sacrifices. For the life of me, I don't understand what Rule saw in Diane Downs that made her want to write a five-hundred-page book about her. Diane
