Everything She Ever Wanted
Everything She Ever Wanted: A True Story of Obsessive Love, Murder, and Betrayal | Ann Rule
5 posts | 12 read | 6 to read
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.

⭐️⭐️ Oof. I appreciate Rule‘s attention to detail, and the recreated dialogue, but this book was so much longer than necessary. Took me forever to complete. And the subject matter - Pat Taylor (plus her various other monickers) - was not even that interesting. Too much true crime lately has me oddly desensitized in my reading, I guess.

This is my second Anne Rule novel and I loved it. It was a fascinating read. I didn't find it as fascinating as Green River, Running Red, but it was still an amazing book. I cannot believe Pat Taylor Allanson kept getting away with all those crimes and her family kept protecting her.

@steverogers posted this. So I stole it to reshare for anyone who doesn't know and/or didn't get to see it. :-)
