    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    As an Oregonian I, of course, have heard of Diane Downs, the crazy woman you shot her kids for her ex-lover in a crime of passion. Let me tell you this woman's life reads like a work of fiction.
    The absolutely shocking details cataloged in this book made me nauseous, made me cry, and sometimes I even laughed at how absolutely insane some of her antics sounded.
    Like Anne Rule says in the book, Diane's story will never truly be over, because she loves the spotlight.
    This was incredibly long but well worth the read.
