The world fumed when the heinous tale of Diane Downs slowly unravelled in the news. With Small Sacrifices, Ann Rule writes a harrowing portrait of this mother driven to shoot her three young children in cold blood. This detailed study of a sociopath and the destructive forces behind her pathology comes complete with eight pages of photos and is a grisly, yet fascinating book of unbelievable intensity.

Cover art is different.

I genuinely enjoyed reading this book. Having read other Ann Rule books of true crime, I knew it would be gripping and thorough in its presentation, so even though it was long, I was sorry when it was over and convinced I knew the characters so well. Human beings are curious creatures, and we have brains wired in many different ways. One can understand and forgive Diane Downs and still understand that she cannot be trusted in liberty in society. I am happy the two children survived and especially that they ended up in a fabulous place, but still they are handicapped for life. Good summer engrossing reading that also makes you wonder about the desperation of certain relationships....
