The Killer Book of True Crime: Incredible Stories,… por Tom Philbin
This was a very quick read, full of information about well-known and lesser-known crimes and criminals. I have never even read some of the facts about a few of the more well-known criminals in the book before. Some of the details in the book are not for the faint of heart, such as the autopsy reports of Nicole Brown Simpson and JonBenet Ramsey, but I still recommend reading this for all true crime lovers.
Good information, I wish they would’ve paid more attention to the victims rather than the serial killer themselves.
This was my first time reading this author and I am glad that I did!
I thought this book was very good and it covered crimes that I have heard about, but there were some that I hadn't. The book also contains some trivia (Q&A) after each case which lets the reader try to answer questions that maybe they know or think they know. The book was a little different then most crime books, but I thought it was very informative on the cases. There are other books by this author and I after reading this book, I am going to try and track them down. Three stars for this one.… (más)

A definite plus for my specialist reference section, but not more than the title suggests. The illustrations are large and the explainations are short, but the whole thing lacks the quirk and charm I was hoping for.
