Rose for Her Grave, A

A Rose for Her Grave tells the story of Randy Roth from the razor-sharp perspective of Ann Rule. Rule attended the Roth trial and includes gripping accounts and details from her personal files on the case. A Rose for Her Grave delves into the heinous crimes of the monster Randy Roth; a man who seduced and manipulated vulnerable women into marrying him and opening up a large life insurance policy…all for him to collect when they conveniently met their untimely end. Rule exposes the heartbreaking facts of the investigation into his crimes, his last three wives and the tortured children left behind.

“Rule is this country's premier true crime author as well as one of its most prolific. She maintains her position with this first volume in a projected five-volume series….Rule's ability to depict both criminals and victims as believable human beings is perfectly embodied in this sad, fascinating account. Indeed, all her accounts present the female victims as real people who deserve compassionate treatment. For all popular true crime collections.-- Ben Harrison, East Orange P.L., N.J. Library Journal
