Ann Rule's website:

Well, if history is any predictor, this book may also make the NY Times Bestseller list.
I hope so.
That would bring a lot of attention to both Max and Rebecca's deaths.
Added: I didn't realize Ann Rule was such a celebrated author till I saw this list of her awards and journalistic accomplishments. I'm even more pleased that she chose to write about Max and Rebecca's deaths. It would be easy for someone to dismiss her work because it is "direct to paperback." But I think this is actually marketing genius. She reaches the widest possible audience in the shortest publishing and production time with this approach. And that rapidly furthers the conversation in the public.
Both the Zahau family and Dina Shacknai are probably celebrating that, on behalf of their loved ones.

All of Ann's books have been New York Times' bestsellers, with Every Breath You Take and Last Dance, Last Chance, and the current Don't Look Behind You and In the Still of the Night all in the top list at the same time.
Eight of Ann's books have been made into TV movies, and five more are in the works. She won the coveted Peabody Award for her miniseries, Small Sacrifices, and has two Anthony Awards from Bouchercon, the mystery fans' organization. She has been nominated three times for Edgar Awards from the Mystery Writers of America. She was also awarded the Washington State Governor's Award. Ann is active in support groups for victims of violent crimes and their families, in programs to help battered and abused women, and support groups for children caught in traumatic living situations.
