Commentary To Books Dead By Sunset: Perfect Husband, Perfect Killer?

The author of eight New York Times bestsellers, Ann Rule first won nationwide acclaim with The Stranger Beside Me, about serial killer Ted Bundy. Her Crime Files volumes, based on fascinating case histories, have assured her reputation as our premier chronicler of crime. Now the former Seattle policewoman brings us the horrific account of a charismatic man adored by beautiful and brilliant women who always gave him what he wanted...sex, money, their very lives....

When attorney Cheryl Keeton's brutally bludgeoned body was found in her van in the fast lane of an Oregon freeway, her husband, Brad Cunningham, was the likely suspect. But there was no solid evidence linking him to the crime. He married again, for the fifth time, and his stunning new wife, a physician named Sara, adopted his three sons. They all settled down to family life on a luxurious estate. But gradually, their marriage became a nightmare....

In this gripping account of Cheryl's murder, Ann Rule takes us from Brad's troubled boyhood to one of the most bizarre trials in legal history, uncovering multiple marriages, financial manipulations, infidelities, and monstrous acts of harassment and revenge along the way. Dead By Sunset is Ann Rule at her riveting best.

Criticize Regarding Books Dead By Sunset: Perfect Husband, Perfect Killer?

3.5 Stars. This is the first book by Ann Rule I have either read or listened to and I was engrossed from the start. Part of that, I admit, is because I know exactly where this took place, as I've driven by there countless times without ever knowing it was the scene of such a heinous crime.In September 1986, Cheryl Keaton was found brutally beaten to death in her car on Portland's busy Sunset Highway, in what appeared to be a botched attempt at a staged traffic accident, which if it had been

What a saga!I'm starting to think that this kind of book should be required reading for young women, if not everyone. Bugger using fairy tales as tales of caution, this stuff is the real deal and it's way scarier.The most frustrating thing about books like this is that we are blessed with 20/20 hindsight, so you spend the entire book wanting to SLAP people, wanting to SHAKE them and scream, "Are you freaking BLIND?!?!" Nevertheless, it is always fascinating to watch a narcissist and master

Brad Cunningham is like a villain in a melodrama. You can absolutely imagine him twirling his mustache and cackling as he made his wives and ex-wives miserable. He was married five times, missed successfully killing his first wife by a matter of inches and pure blind luck; married his second wife solely to help him gain custody of his children (and when that failed, divorced her basically on the spot); abandoned his third wife when she was six months pregnant, after having persuaded her to quit

Great story, awful man. That sums up this true crime tale from the premier writer of that genre, the late Ann Rule. I was repulsed but mesmerized by how terrible Brad was and how far he would go to get his own way. I knew someone like him in my life (thankfully, he is long gone), so I had some empathy for those in his path. Women and children were just possessions to him, and even in his trial he acted like he did no wrong. Wow, I hope I never encounter a narcissistic psychopath like him again.

I think I do not have my copy anymore. Wait. I know. This was one of the books I read in Dutch I think. Which was why I discovered true crime books.

There I was, in Hawaii, having finished three books in a week (!) and purusing the shelf at the condo. It has been a while since I've read one of the Rule's books. I had forgotten the detail she uses, her usual inclusion of photos, and quite elaborate telling of "what happened."This is just another of her well told true crime tales. Not disappointed, engaged in the over 500 page read, and cetainly entertained. I would say despite all of that and knowing that the killer would be snagged it still

Charming Brad Cunningham likely killed his 4th wife Cheryl in 1986. They had three sons, and were in the midst of a divorce and custody battle. Brad was an abuser. He was eventually convicted via circumstantial evidence. I listened to an abridged audio. I usually dont like abridged (and I still wonder why they bother! Why not just narrate the entire book!?), but they did this one well. I usually notice when information is skipped or missed, but I didnt notice this time while listening it wasnt
