In this brilliant portrayal of lovers who kill and the men and women who are their unwitting victims, Ann Rule expertly analyzes shocking, headline-making cases, unmasking the motives that transform sex and passion into deadly crimes. Recounting several cases where the search for true love went terribly wrong, Rule writes a cautionary tale for those who trust too much too soon. The first case is that of an ex-Marine judo instructor who seduced women and then destroyed their lives. A deadly blind date, a blood red rose left behind by a killer, a mystery finally solved by a brilliant cold case pair of detectives, a marriage based on false and murderous promises, the fatal manipulations of a faithless wife—KISS ME, KILL ME is a compendium of true crimes committed by both sexes.
