Summary: Book was written faster than the murder occurred....
Review: I was more than disappointed at some of the inaccuracies of Ms. Rule's quickly written book on a fascinating , disturbing murder case. If you eliminate court testimony, there is no substance that the author adds except for a family background on the tragic families effected by Capano's vile actions. Ms. Rule may be popular, but popularity is not verification -- she'll collect her millions for a nichel's work of investigation.

Summary: Boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This book would make a great sleeping pill. It is overwritten and incredibly tedious. Making Deborah MacIntyre into such a sympathetic character is extremely hard to swallow for those of us who know this case in the Delaware area. It's angering and insulting to see this woman presented so sympathetically after she purchased the gun that killed Anne Marie Fahey and concealed her affair with Tom Capano for so many years from Tom's wife who was Debby's friend! Ponderous, tedious and extremely pointless. This book starts off like a lead laiden Zepplin and explodes into, mind numbing thud.

Summary: well researched and written
Review: "And Never Let Her Go" is by far the best book I have read on the Anne Marie Fahey murder.

Summary: a satisfying read
Review: I am finding "Deadly Seducer" to be immensely interesting and well written. Ann Rule, as she does in all of her books, explores the darkest regions of her subjects souls and lives and emerges, putting on paper for us, her readers, a concise and fascinating account from the beginning. I enjoy reading about the why and how and Ann Rule delves into those areas rather than into the gory details of the crimes themselves. She does it in this book with aplomb, carrying the reader into the recesses of the perpetrators and victims minds and hearts and weaving a tale that I am finding hard to put down.

Summary: Wonderful--could not put it down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Once again Ann Rule triumphs--no one can take us into the depth and detail she can. She takes great care to show us that Anne Marie Fahey was a human being with human failings--the desperate need to be loved and to love in return, so much so that she became involved with the wrong person. Debbie Macintyre also shows us how a person can want so desperately to be loved that they can overlook almost anything. Make sure you have everything done before you sit down with this one--you won't be able to put it down.

Summary: Ann Rule's best since SMALL SACRIFICES.... Just terrific
Review: I found Ann Rule's new book, "And Never Let Her Go," just fabulous. I've read most of her books, (I've been a fan since "Small Sacrifices" - one of the best true-crime books ever written in my opinion)and I think this is one of her best. It is a heartbreaking story, and I was impressed by the author's compassion and deep understanding of the families devastated by this terrible tragedy. Maybe that is what sets her apart from many other true crime writers whose books I have read. I once saw her interviewed on television, and I was impressed by how natural and sincere she is. She must be a very wise woman.

Summary: Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Review: "Most people like to think they recognize evil when they seeit. But as this gripping story of a 1996 Delaware murder makes clear,most people are wrong. Much more than the profile of a handsome, insidious killer and the young woman he murdered, true-crime veteran Rule's latest is also the story of three close-knit families and how the 30-year-old Anne Marie Fahey's death strengthened or destroyed them. When Fahey, the scheduling secretary for Governor Thomas Carper, was reported missing, her relationship with the older, married Capano was known only to a tiny handful of close friends. A prominent lawyer from a powerful local family, Capano had served as a political advisor to local and state officials. But he also had less savory attributes, many revealed during the investigation into Fahey's disappearance and his subsequent murder trial. Fahey was the only woman Capano murdered, but she wasn't his only victim. Both the Faheys and Debby McIntyre, Capano's mistress of 18 years, trusted Rule enough to share details of their lives. Rule (Bitter Harvest, etc.) doesn't betray that trust, nor does she shortchange the Capano family. All those involved emerge as real people whose lives are circumscribed by experience. When Capano's brothers turned state's evidence, revealing their parts in helping dispose of Fahey's body, Capano accused McIntyre of the murder. His ruthlessness, the constancy of the Fahey family and the Capanos' loyalty to Tom (who's now on Delaware's death row) become, in Rule's capable hands, the raw material for a modern-day tragedy."

Summary: Rule rules true crime
Review: Tommy Capano had it all. He was wealthy and politically a major player in Delaware politics. He cherished his four daughters and was a hero to his adoring mother. He also has several women on the side even as his marriage appeared to be nearing an end. Anne Marie Fahey was the scheduling secretary to Delaware Governor Thomas Carper. She was so good in her job, Governor Carper brought her with him when he left Congress for the state house. Anne Marie was surrounded by devoted friends and a loving family. At twenty-eight, she found the love of a lifetime in Tommy. For two years, Tommy and Ann Marie had an affair. However, on June 27, 1996, Tommy murders thirty-year old Ann Marie. In court, Tommy insisted that another one of his mistresses killed Ann Marie. The jury disagreed and found him guilty. Best selling true crime author Ann Rule provides her large audience with a fascinating look at what led to the murder and the subsequent trail of Tommy. AND NEVER LET HER GO is one of Ms. Rule's better works of true crime because the audience gains deep entrance into the "souls" of the culprit, the deceased victim, Tom's chosen sacrificial lamb, and their families.

Summary: Disappointing, Somnambulent
Review: Not Ann Rule's Best. She stretches here to find sympathy for some characters that don't deserve it and her courtroom descriptions seem oddly out of synch. It is mind numbing and vapid and seems to have been written in a hurry.I cannot recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: A complete waste of time
Review: I was anxiously anticipating this book and now I'm eagerly flushing it. A fascinating trial was turned to drivel and a thorough investigation turned to mush. As a woman I found this sophomoric, insulting and degrading.If you want to read a book about the Anne Marie Fahey case both "The Summer Wind" by George Anastasia and "Above the Law" by Brian Karem are far superior. Reading their books and then comparing them to this book made me think Ann Rule was covering a completely different trial. Then I read in the Wilmington News Journal that Ann Rule wasn't even IN the trial for the entire trial! Just a few days. Now it all makes sense. I was a great Ann Rule fan until this book...not any more.
