Leslie Rule’s “A Tangled Web” is a true-crime fiction story set in November 2012, where Cari Lea Farver has just gone missing from her home in Omaha, Nebraska. Even though she never thought she would become a true-crime fiction author she learnt a lot when she accompanied Ann Rule as she interviewed victims, prosecutors and detectives. During this time, she went with her mother who was attending trials in a lot of places including Texas, Oregon, Delaware and California. While she now does not believe her mother was too paranoid, she thinks it was her stubbornness in persisting in the job that gave the experience she needed to become a true fiction author. At that time, she was annoyed by the lectures to stay safe as she believed she was invincible. Leslie Rule was being exposed to victims who had to endure horrific fates a few blocks from her home even. Given that many of the victims in the crimes were girls her age she is still shocked that her mother allowed her the freedom and self-control to do as she wished. During the 1970s, her mother worked for several magazines reporting on true crime. During this time, she was a rebellious teenager and loved the work though she thought her mother was too worried and paranoid for her safety. Many of the pictures in the Ann Rule novels were the direct product of Leslie’s work and this provided a good grounding on crime fiction for the aspiring author. Ann Rule needed someone to help her take photographs and notes when she was doing her research. As a seventeen-year-old in 1975, she convinced her mother to hire her as her assistant. Growing up as the daughter of one of the most influential true-crime fiction authors, Leslie Rule was introduced to the genre very early on. Leslie Rule is now following in the footsteps of her mother to make a career in true crime fiction with her novel “A Tangled Web.” Published in 2020 by Kensington Publishing, the novel is about Shanna Golyar, a woman charged with the murder of a woman that she had been impersonating via email and phone for years. In 2020, she decided to take over the family business by venturing into true-crime fiction. Leslie Rule spent more than three decades writing fantasy and suspense novels targeted at young audiences.
