Summary

America's foremost true-crime writer offers her most riveting real-life drama ever: a heartbreaking story of treachery, jealousy and murder.

Jenn Corbin appeared to have it all: two dear little boys, a posh home in one of the upscale suburbs of Atlanta, expensive cars, a plush houseboat, and a husband - Dr. Bart Corbin, a successful dentist - who was tall, handsome, and brilliant.

But gradually, their seemingly idyllic life together began to crumble. Bart was distraught and Jenn seemed disenchanted. Then, just a few weeks before Christmas 2004, Jenn was found dead with a bullet in her head, an apparent suicide. But Gwinnett County detective Marcus Head was not totally convinced, nor was Jenn's family. Was this death related to another apparent suicide 14 years earlier of a beautiful student who once dated Bart Corbin in dental school? Or was the answer to be found in a secret - even dangerous - relationship Jenn Corbin was having outside her marriage?

For Too Late to Say Goodbye, Ann Rule has interviewed virtually everyone related to the story to uncover the truth behind the headlines of these two sensational deaths. What emerges is an incredible tale of jealous rage that runs from the steamy to the macabre. The definitive unraveling of one of the strangest murder investigations of our time, Too Late to Say Goodbye is perhaps the finest achievement of a truly great writer's career.

Too Late To Say Goodbye

I have only just discovered Ann Rule,I am so glad i did,she is an amazing author of true crime,after listening to Dead By Sunset i was hooked this story too is just as fascinating,its just unreal how somebody could do that to someone and try to get away with it ,it was very similar to the Dead By sunset case,It must be so interesting for Ann Rule to get so involved in these cases and make a big difference to their families a great listen if you love true crime.

Hard work

It just goes on and on and on. Not Anne R’s best work. Somewhere around chapter 30 you just want to yell, “get on with it!” Exhausting. Starts well and just sort of fizzles after chapter 20-something.

Nothing is stranger than the truth.

If you could sum up Too Late to Say Goodbye in three words, what would they be?

Fascinating. Frightening. Sad.

What other book might you compare Too Late to Say Goodbye to, and why?

Other books written by Anne Rule

What aspect of Barbara Caruso’s performance might you have changed?

Could be a little flat- overall not bad.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Any additional comments?

Anne Rule brings to the public an in-depth, but not prurient exploration of a true crime. Nothing is over- sensationalised and she uses a matter of fact writing style which really highlights how evil the most ordinary people can be. I find the way the author pays meticulous attention to the background, as well as the investigation, interesting and disturbing. As I said at the start .... truth is definitely stranger than fiction.

Fascinating & Tragic, A Great Book

I thought this was extremely well written from start to finish. For me, it didn't drag or go slowly at all. The background stories added to the understanding of the case. I didn't know anything about the case but thank goodness justice was done in the end.

Glad to say goodbye

This really didn't do it for me. I think it was simply too long: it felt like there was a lot of filling. The backgrounds being described in such minute detail simply were not especially interesting: bios of relatives and parents etc. That is fine if their backgrounds have some point of interest that merits the airtime but I didn't find that applied. In short, this was just quite boring!
