Gone Forever: A True Story of Marriage, Betrayal, and Murder

Great writer.. great book. Thank you!

i have just managed to put this book down... and the only reason is that i have finished it! it is superbly written, i feel like i almost know the characters. such a refreshing change after reading the mediocre "officers wife" drivel, penned by the awesomely talentless mr. fleeman. Miss fanning is way up there with ann rule as a truly great true crime writer. however do not be misled by "peter tee",this is not a novel, it is a true story and the reasons why rick mcfarland killed his wife had nothing to do with adultery. he was simply an inadequate little man who could not accept the fact that she was far too good for him. if you have time, read this book.I, as one of your other critics has lamented, can read much faster than ann rule can write, but with diane fanning producing quality like this,it definately helps fill the gaps. well done diane, and i will be staying up many a long night with you in the future!

Diane is brilliant. A very funny lady and a great writer. I saw her on TV and thought how can a women that good-looking also be so smart.This is book is proof she has both beauty and brains.I know from her TV interview that she based this brillant novel on a true story, which means it should carry a Govt Health Warning.Adultery is OK on TV and in films - but in REAL LIFE - it is REAL people that get hurt.
