From the New York Times #1 best-selling author comes a riveting true-crime mystery set on a sleepy island in the Pacific Northwest: a man is murdered and the long list of suspects includes an aging beauty queen and her boyfriend.
One wintery night on tiny, quiet Whidbey Island off the coast of Washington, Russ Douglas spent Christmas with his estranged wife, Brenna. She agreed to let him visit his children even though they were headed for divorce. He left Brenna Douglas's home in Langley on the morning of December 26, 2003 to run some errands.
But hours passed and the sun set in the late afternoon; Russ didn't return home as he'd promised his children he would. Nor did he come back during the night. On the afternoon of December 27, a couple walking down a rural road noticed a vehicle that had apparently backed into the driveway of a cabin. Since many of the places were vacant during the winter, neighbors kept an eye out for strangers.
Curious, they walked up the cabin's driveway to check inside. They saw a man in the front seat, still strapped in his seatbelt, dead from a gunshot wound to the head. They immediately put in a call to the Island County Sheriff's Office. The dead man was easily identified; it was Russell Douglas. But what came next surprised law enforcement and captured the attention of the entire town when the suspects included an aging beauty queen, her guitar-teacher lover, and Russell's widow, Brenna. With her trademark aplomb, Ann Rule unravels the fascinating story of a murder, a small town, and a number of potential killers.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
IT WAS OK. BUT IN THE END I WAS UNSATISFIED. AND THAT IS WHAT COUNTS.Has Practice to Deceive turned you off from other books in this genre?
NOHave you listened to any of Anne Twomey’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I THINK SO. THEY ARE ALL GOOD.Was Practice to Deceive worth the listening time?
IT WAS NOT TOO LONG A BOOK SO IT WAS NOT A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME. BUT NOT FEELING SATISFIED AT THE END IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME.Any additional comments?
I WISH ANN RULE WOULD COME OUT WITH UNABRIDGED IF YOU REALLY LOVED ME.THIS BOOK WAS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
