A True Story of Obsession, Revenge, and Murder

De: Ann Rule

Narrado por: Cassandra Campbell

America’s #1 true-crime writer unveils the chilling true story of the Sheila Bellush murder, unveiling domestic violence, an obsessive ex-husband, and a desperate plea for justice in this gripping account written at the victim’s request.

“If anything ever happens to me…find Ann Rule and ask her to write my story.”

In perhaps the first true-crime book written at the victim’s request, Ann Rule untangles a web of lies and brutality that culminated in the murder of Sheila Blackthorne Bellush—a woman Rule never met, but whose shocking story she chronicled with compassion, exacting detail, and unvarnished candor.

Although happily ensconced in a loving second marriage, and a new family of quadruplets, Sheila never truly escaped the vicious enslavement of her ex-husband, multi-millionaire Allen Blackthrone, a handsome charmer—and a violent, controlling sociopath who subjected Sheila to unthinkable abuse in their marriage, and terrorized her for a decade after their divorce. When Sheila was murdered in her home, in the presence of her four toddlers, authorities raced to link the crime to Blackthorne, the man who vowed to monitor Sheila’s every move in his obsessive quest for power and revenge.

With her careful research and signature reporting, Ann Rule captures Sheila’s harrowing story while honoring a victim’s last request.

Well done

I loved the narration/ no put in voices for characters/ just plain, well articulated reading

Shocking and so very sad . .

It’s very sad to know that there are people in the world who always have to be right and get in the last word or action against former spouses, family members and generally ppl they once loved and cherished. Anne had written this true story of love, hate, evil, hope, empathy and righteousness.

Good stuff

Good stuff. thelos is another nicely construcyrd nook by Ann Rulle
i recommend this boo to others.

I love Ann Rule books

Overall a good book and worth the listen! Thought they didn’t quite pronounce the town of Boerne right, it is more like BURN nee! Lived in Texas for years and thought they could have researched that better.

Overall great book

Being from Texas the mispronunciation of the City of Boerne among other Texas and Spanish words.

Great!

Ann Rule knocked it out of the ball park with this tragic story. I can think of no flaws. Note: I listened at 1.2 speed. I enjoy courtroom minutiae. The story has twists and turns and is heartbreaking.

Excellent

Awesome read very moving wonderfully written. Excellent facts spellbinding. Very sad though and domestic violence is so prevalent sadly.

Great book

Wasn't sure I'd be able to get into this type of book but I was sure wrong! It had me from beginning til the end.

Very Good Listen

Ann Rule guides the reader through a complex disturbing story of jealousy, hate and eventual murder. The narrator reads the story in such a way that it is hard stop listening.
However, the story reveals so many of the flaws in our law enforcement and judicial system. For some reason money seems to protect the guilty.

An excellent read!

Told so well. I felt like I was watching every detail of the story. Brilliantly written! Sad to think such a thing actually happened. But glad that it opened my eyes as to how some people can be and what to look out for as far as characteristics are concerned.
