"So you like the Ann Rule books? What do you think keeps her readers coming back?"

First of all, longevity. She has acquired a very large and loyal following because she has been consistently writing true crime books for about 20 years. Her first book was called, "The Stranger Beside Me" focusing on her relationship with Ted Bundy, a former co-worker.

Secondly and more importantly, Ann utilizes her criminal justice background and delves deeply into the criminal mind and literally teaches her readers in how the criminal mind works. Most of the people she has writtened about seem like very normal people; but in reality they are evil, narcissistic pyschopaths who care only for themselves and have absolutely no remorse for their actions. (Sound like someone we know? Maybe MS?) Initially, that is why she wrote the book about Bundy, she was completely fooled by him. He is probably her most famous subject.

This of course is a very general explanation, but I hope it answers your question.
