Publisher's summary

In this number-one New York Times best seller, Ann Rule, the undisputed master of true crime, brings her formidable talents to her only novel, a riveting tale of psychological suspense.

When Danny and Joanne Lindstrom's camping trip in the Cascade mountains goes terribly awry, beautiful young Joanne is left alone and stranded in the savage wilderness. Her last hope is to rely on another camper, a tall stranger who seems to know the forest and the dangers there all too well. Without him, she will surely die; with him, her future is as unpredictable as the lowering clouds that envelop the mountain. He asks only that she trust him....

Originality of story

I enjoyed the readers voice very much. To me, the plot was original. Descriptions of characters allowed easy recollection of who was who in dialog. Flow of character interaction and story-line was just right. The ending was not surprising but appropriate for this telling.

Suspenseful and entertaining

I enjoyed the audio version of Possession by Ann Rule. I thought the writing was really good, authentic in the characterizations and descriptions, and the story flowed nicely. I was captivated from the first chapter through the very end. I would highly recommend this audiobook. Definitely worth your credit!

ann rule should stick to true crime

I did not care that much for this book. I was curious to see what Ann rule would write and I prefer her true crime by a mile.

Truth is stranger than fiction

The plot twists and turns so many times, you’ll never guess what’s around each corner.
Perhaps one of the best Ann Rule books ever—and she is the queen of true crime. I loved the narrator as well.

Excellent! Thought it was true story, but even better.

Fantastic novel by renown True Crime Author Ann Rule. I bought by accident, bc I’ve been only listening to true crime and thought this was another Ann rule crime book. I’m not sorry I listened to Possession. I really enjoyed it. Very enthralling. To the very end. It’s not what I expected. Loved this one. Great narrator.

well written, a definite page turner

I had been waiting for this book of Ann's to become available on Audible. Ann is one of my favorite authors and she did not disappoint with this novel. interesting that this one is loosely based on a true crime that occurred in the late 70s too. I enjoyed this narrator as well as he really drew me deeper into the story.

Not my favorite Ann Rule

Not sure how I feel about this book. I'm a big fan but this one was drawn out. It was good but not great
