One Word Summary: BORING
Review by Kim Cantrell
I have read other books by Clifford Linedecker and none of them have been as boring and tedious as Deadly White Female.
I love true crime but found myself skimming many pages of this book because the information was completely useless or repitious.
The basis for an interesting story was here, but the author just didn’t make it happen.
It appears that, while mentioning it somewhat, Linedecker wanted us to view Roger Paulson (the victim) as a truly manipulated, prime citizen type of guy; and his murderer, Lisa Miller Rohn, as skilled manipulator, lying, thieving woman who would do anything to save herself.
Unfortunately, although mentioned only in passing, I was able to see that Paulson, with his claims of military service and exhibition of a purple heart (all lies), that the old saying sticks; that is, “Birds of a feather flock together.”
It would have made the reading more interesting if Linedecker had played on ALL the information.
Movies about this case: Dying to Love You starring Tracy Pollan and Tim Matheson (made for TV, not available on DVD)
