The Want-Ad Killer (True Crime) Review: Great read - Anne Rule has done it again. She has written a true crime book that encapsulates the life and murders of a serial killer. This book is informative and interesting Review: The riveting account of "Harv the Hammer" - As always, Ann Rule delivers the complete account of a monster who has lived among us posing threats to many young women. Harvey Carignan, who characterizes himself as a victim of all the signicant women in his life seeks revenge wielding power over women he has lured into his vehicle. Some lived to testify of a terrifying ordeal! I couldn't fall asleep after reading 2/3 if the book. Yet, when it happened, I felt an eerie presence. A shadow of a huge man covered me and a cold shiver went through my body like a sharpened knife. Without my head leaving the pillow from the living room sofa, I ran to my bedroom with that ghastly behemoth upon my heels and his hot breath on the back of my neck!! I closed the bedroom door locking it behind me! My feet were firmly planted so that I too would not feel the pangs of horror so many women before me had felt. I have got to stop reading these books! True crime is the most frightening genre of literature. My eyes opened and my heart was racing until I realized it was just a nightmare induced by reading The Want Ad Killer by Ann Rule. There are no happy ending in true crime. However the author does this story and the countless victims who suffered by the hand if this monster as much justice as possible. Great read for true crime fanatics! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #85,094 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #59 in Violence in Society (Books) #84 in Serial Killers True Accounts #124 in Criminology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (1,967) | | Dimensions | 4.13 x 0.83 x 6.73 inches | | Edition | Updated ed. | | ISBN-10 | 0451166884 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0451166883 | | Item Weight | 6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 304 pages | | Publication date | September 1, 1983 | | Publisher | Berkley | ## Images ![The Want-Ad Killer (True Crime) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81cDdrukYXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read *by J***O on November 11, 2025* Anne Rule has done it again.

Great read for true crime fanatics! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book! *by R***I on August 26, 2013* I have been reading true crime and Ann Rule for years. Ann Rule has the gift of letting you in to the lives of these people both predators and victims. Her books feel like novels because she is one of the good TC authors that seems to research her books rather than copying news articles and court transcripts. I have no idea how I missed this book when it was first released. I am glad that I found it while shopping for a kindle book on Amazon. I don't normally like books about serial killers but I did enjoy reading this one.We got to see and know the victims which in a lot of times are lost as writers focus only on the killers. Harvey was a very brutal, cruel person and as always we see where he was not sentanced enough time and got out of prison to commit even worse crimes than before.I think all true crime readers will enjoy this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/19085047-the-want-ad-killer-true-crime](https://www.desertcart.it/products/19085047-the-want-ad-killer-true-crime) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
