About this listen

WAS SHE A SWEET SOUTHERN CHARMER?

OR A COLD-BLOODED KILLER?

For their wedding portrait, petite Pat Taylor and handsome Tom Allanson posed as Rhett and Scarlett. Both came from fine Southern families, and dreamed of the Tara-like plantation where they would grow roses, raise horses, and move in the genteel circles of Atlanta society. Less than two months later, their dream exploded in terror and murder: their beautiful home mysteriously burned to the ground and Tom was convicted of the brutal slaying of his mother and father.

Pat's only brother had died in a puzzling suicide, her grandparents-in-law were poisoned with arsenic, and no one—from her wealthy employers to her own children—was safe when Pat Allanson didn't get her way. It took Georgia lawmen more than two decades to stop her for good—if indeed they have.

In this fascinating account, Ann Rule delivers a tour de force: a whirlwind of misguided love, denial, guilt, and passions out of control; a series of brilliantly manipulated crimes; the bizarre and horrifying tale of two families brought to ruin; and, at the center of it all, the heartless, supremely selfish sociopath whose evil hid behind soft words and gentle manners, but who destroyed—without mercy—those who loved her.

Great book, poor narration

I really enjoyed this story as I have all Anne Rule's work. However, the narration was extremely cringey. Her depiction of southerners was offensive. She spoke with an accent that sounded like a parody of southerners. No one talks that way! Her depiction sounded like someone from Cival war times or something, or perhaps the movie Gone With The Wind. it was ridiculous and took away from my enjoyment of the audio book.

It kept me guessing

A tragic story of an evil woman. It kept me wondering if she would ever pay the price for her crimes.

Fascinating Story, one of Ann Rule’s Best!

I love the art of story telling and Ann Rule does it so well. This story has many central characters, each described in detail. The twists and turns are hard to predict and kept me engaged all the way to the end. I’ve read every Ann Rule book and this may be the best I’ve ever read. Pat Taylor was such a unique person, likable by some, despicable to most, but ordinary in many ways.
The narration was OUTSTANDING! I almost feel like it’s Ann Rule’s voice at this point. At over 20 riveting hours, I got my money’s worth, and more.

Amazing

This is the stupidest family ever. My mom was put in jail for poisoning people. I was in perfect health until she started taking care of me. I’ve never had the flu so bad that my feet stopped working! Also, my doctor is stupid because I told him my arms and feet stopped working and he also told me I had the flu.
