Relation To Books No Regrets and Other True Cases (Crime Files #11)
A ship's pilot legendary for guiding mammoth freighters through the narrows of Puget Sound, Rolf Neslund was a proud Norwegian, a ladies' man, and a beloved resident of Washington State's idyllic Lopez Island. Virtually indestructible even into his golden years, he made electrifying headlines more than once: after a ship he was helming crashed into the soaring West Seattle Bridge, causing millions in damages; and following his inexplicable disappearance at age 80. Was he a suicide, a man broken by one costly misstep? Had he run off with a lifelong love? Or did a trail of gruesome evidence lead to the home Rolf shared with his wife, Ruth? On an island where everyone thought they knew their neighbors, the veneer of the Neslunds' marriage masked a convoluted case that took many years to solve. And, indeed, some still believe that the old sea captain will come home one day. "The Sea Captain" is a classic tale as blood chilling as murder itself. Along with six other equally riveting, detailed accounts of destruction and murder committed without conscience or regret, Ann Rule takes readers into frightening places they never could have imagined in No Regrets.Identify Books Toward No Regrets and Other True Cases (Crime Files #11)

Ann Rule is a compassionate author. She knows her subject matter is sensitive and so she shows no judgement, allowing the reader to accept the facts and make their own determination. This stories are all from the pacific northwest, and Ann Rule gives the history around the particular stories, giving more background than you would expect. It is an interesting read.Seven chilling tales of true crime by long time author Ann Rule. While her writing style is pretty dry, these stories kept me turning the pages to find out what happened next. The first story brought back some memories of Seattle, and an infamous bridge meets ship incident. Recommended, and one of the better entries in the series.

Wow, this book is everything that I ever dreamed of. I am still reading "The Sea Captain." Hopefully, I will be finished with the book by the end of the week.
I've always enjoyed Ann Rule's true crime books and this group of seven cases was no exception. It includes the first murder conviction in Washington state in which no body had been found as well as the tale of a counselor kidnapped and held for hours prior to taking a chance on appealing to a small group of hunters at a rest stop for assistance.
Although this boof was difficult to read, I really liked this book, mostly because I really like mystery books. I have never read one of Ann Rule's books before "No Regrets" but I thought she had taken this murder/mystery book to the next level. The thrill of a missing man and people trying to solve the question: What happened to Rolf Neslund? The captain had crashed his ship, costing millions of dollars in damage. He had disappeared at the age of 80 years old. People were questoning weather he
I enjoyed this book, as I do all of Ms. Rule's. She focuses on each character, telling their story with great detail. This book is part of her Crime Files series, so it has 7 different stories in it. The first is The Sea Captain which is the books longest tale. I buy all of Ms. Rule's books without hesitation because I know they are top quality in content!
