I'll check her out on Amazon and Goodreads. I like mystery fiction so her real life stuff might be something I'll enjoy.

I thought she was in her 60's. This came as a big surprise.

She worked on a suicide hotline with Ted Bundy.

I read many of her books because they were easy reads and most were located in Pacific Northwest.

Rule was a very good story teller and researcher.

Most were chilling.
