3 comments about The Untold Story of Frankie Silver: Was She Unjustly Hanged?.

1. As a direct descendant of Frankie Silver (She was my G-G-Grandmother) I have heard the story all my life, but learned many new facts about the case. I found a few dates to be incorrect, and many names omitted, but this does not detract from the essence of the story. A thoruoghly researched book that debunks many of the myths surrounding the hanging of Frankie Silver. Good reading for history buffs and a MUST for family members.



2. This book of true crime takes on the feat of straightening all the twists in the Frankie Silver story. The tale of poor Frankie and the eventful trial stands out from many because of the manner in which the body of Charles Silver was disposed and the age of the young girl condemned. Sorting truth from rumor or the numerous errors in print couldn't have been an easy task. I commend Mr. Young for his dedication and hard work to set things straight and perhaps bring some peace to the spirit of the ill fated Mrs. Silver. I believe that Henry Spainhour really did say it best when he wrote, "I consider it wrong to brand the dead with greater crimes than we believe they were guilty of." This is a very organized and well written book.

3. The author covers the topic completely from all directions. His research is well documented and accurate. It quotes liberally from official documents and draws no undocumented conclusions. It is an excellent treatment of the evidence. It is, however, an extremely dry, tedious read.

1 comments about The Mosser Massacre: The Southwest's Greatest Manhunt.

1. With the explosion of "True Crime" books (if you do not believe me just check in your nearest large book store and see how this section has grown in the last five years) many classic crimes from years ago are getting their own books rather than just a page or two in a crime encyclopedia. Examples of these books cover such criminals as Harvey Glatman, Charles Starkweather, and Albert Fish(just to name a few). Being a classic crime reader, I have been waiting for a few classic crimes to get the "book" treatment. What about Howard Unruh (he is still alive today!) and the utterly unbelievable "Walk Of Death" in Camden, New Jersey in 1949? How about Jack Graham and his successful life of insurance fraud culminating in the blowing up of a passenger plane over Colorado in 1955? Finally, how about William Cook, who kidnapped a family and drove around the country with them in their car before killing them in 1950/51? Both Unruh and Graham are still waiting, but author Glenn Shirley has put together a great book about one of the 1950s most harrowing and amazing true crime tales ever recorded. Before Christopher Wilder and Ted Bundy, William Cook kidnapped and killed people ranging from the Midwest all the way to Mexico. It is all here- Cook's impoverished background, his menacing look(the drooping right eyelid), and the famous "live by the gun and roam" mentality. The book could have been longer with more pictures, but I pleased that finally a classic true crime has been finally researched and written about. Maybe Shirley will take on the Unruh and Graham cases in his next book!

5 comments about The Diary of Jack the Ripper/the Discovery, the Investigation, the Debate.

1. I loved this book. I read if from front to back in one night. I could not put it down.



2. This is the first of three books avaiable which deal specifically with the Diary of Jack the Ripper. Although it is not the best-written book, and could have been shorter without losing impact, it presents a credible case for the diary as being that of both James Maybrcik and JTR.
   
   Although criticized by many ripperologists as a hoax, as fiction, as being "too good to be true," the most striking thing, in my opinion, is that no one has come up with any definitive proof that either the diary is fake, or that Maybrick could not have been JTR. Granted, it's not enough to be unable to prove a negative, but when you pile on all the circumstantial evidence provided by this and the two subsequent books that Maybrick and JTR are one and the same, it remains very interesting.
   
   I would have given it 5 stars for content, but style is lacking.



3. The narration is below-average, closely resembling a "what I did on my summer vacation" essay. By looking at the basic evidence in the JtR case it is obvious that this is a fake. Factor in that the guy who "discovered" it admitted it was a hoax, and hopefully no one else will waste their money on this. From the beginning of this read to the end, it smelled suspiciously of doo-doo. For a weekend armchair quarterback Jack the Ripper fan, it's a below-average read.



4. Generally there will be two extremes of ranking for this book, those who accept it as real (5 stars)and those who think it a fake (1 star). I don't accept the diary as real but Shirley Harrison does. What she puts forth in this 1998 version is her reasons and research as to why SHE thinks is authentic. Whether you 'believe' it or not is not why the book should be ranked but on the book presentation itself.
   
   The first 165 pages I enjoyed and read with interest even though I don't go for the Diary. These pages have Harrison comparing passages in the Diary to events of the times. The next section of book, roughly 170 pages is more of a biography of James & Florie Maybrick which was alright. The last section of the book is Harrison's purported findings on the Diary itself, ink & paper age being the primary focus. While the writing style is a bit dry, the 'history' of Maybrick is interesting. The biggest problem, for me, is that Harriosn goes to no other evidence other than the Diary to prove Maybrick was Jack the Ripper. Much like Cromwell's Sickert accusations, there really is no firm supporting evidence other than what they want to believe or have invested money in. It also doesn't help that the "finder" of the Diary claims they hoaxed (demented or not - and I don't think he hoaxed it either but someone did) and then some loose tangent thread that possibly the finder's wife is of an illegitimate descent of Florie, Maybrick's wife.
   
   Overall, the book presentation itself gets 3 stars and any "Ripperologist" should have it on their shelf, hoax or not. There's a very good statement in the prologue - if you go into it convinced it's fake you will never accept it; if you go into it convinced it's real you'll defend it. I recommend you read it with as open mind as you can and you'll enjoy the book much more.



5. This book will keep you reading. It is a demented tale of the perpetration of serial killings in the Whitechapel neighborhood of London, England, in 1888, supposedly confessed into a diary (kept on the pages of a photo album) by a Liverpool merchant named James Maybrick: a man whose young wife was later, in real life, tried and acquitted of charges of poisoning him to death. While it is possible Maybrick was the murderer of a number of London women in 1888, and some circumstantial evidence does link him to the cruel misdeeds, there are also hundreds of other suspects, many more likely than he. What is certain is that this "diary" is a piece of late-twentieth-century fiction composed by the person once hailed as its discoverer. (While working in the house once belonging to Maybrick, the man claimed he uncovered the volume wedged under some floorboards.) We know this because this individual has been reliably reported as admitting his hoax and even signing an affidavit to that effect. That stated, the fiction penned herein is the morbid, imaginative tale of a descent into drug addiction, madness and murder, but it is, I repeat, fiction, and deserves to be read as such, except perhaps by those who might enjoy studying a poorly-executed forgery. Might I also add I am heartily sick to death of those who glamorize whatever emotionally-retarded sexual misfit killed those women long-ago? And this book serves to do just that.

2 comments about Anatomy of a Massacre.

1. If you are interested in a straight forward play- by-play of how the Luby's Cafeteria Massacre carried out, then this book is your first choice. From a detailed history of George Hennard and events leading up to his rampage to the aftermath that ensued, this book flows in an easy to read and gripping style. No prejudices or bias' are forced on the reader. The facts and people are presented as they were and you are left with many questions and conlusions. This is a superior review to modern day mass murder and to true crime in general. Pick it up if you love a good read.



2. I am dieing to find out how come Hennard's mother didn't do something when he started stalking the neighbor's children. She may have had the last chance to prevent this maniac from going postal.
   The authors didn't even explain Mrs. Hennard's reaction to the neighbor's fear. Did she not care?
   I am amazed that Hennard would be stupid enough to write a love letter without even knowing whom he is stalking. Usually, stalkers are better informed.
   How can you say, "I want to spend my life with you" and not know even the person's name? Duh!

5 comments about Jack the Ripper: The 21st Century Investigation.

1. After reading a review that gave a five-star rating to this utter disappointment of a Ripper book I was compelled to write a few words of my own. Having been an enthusiast on the Ripper case for some fifteen years and collecting all the books on the subject I considered worthwhile I have to say that "JtR: The 21st Century Investigation" by Trevor Marriott was one of the worst I've come across (which is saying a lot remembering all the Harrison/Cornwell -style achievements). It reveals absolutely nothing new of the case, no 'ignored facts' whatsoever.
   
   Anyone who has read "The Ultimate JtR Sourcebook" (which definitely reveals everything you need to know about the coroners inquests and all other official files, newspaper articles and such authentic material), or Philip Sugdens excellent "The Complete History of JtR" will find very little rewarding in this book. Mr Marriotts deductions throughout the book sound more or less vague: "Martha Tabram is not considered by many to be among the Ripper victims, but to my opinion she might as well have been one", and so on. Every basic fact, speculation and reference is offered in a very matter-of-fact, uninterested and selective style.
   
   Keeping in mind that the theory of JtR being a sailor, and thus being able to avoid capturing more easily was put forth already in 1888 and countless times since, mr Marriotts 'discovery' on the final pages of the book seems hardly worth the trouble. His tireless search of all the vessels whose arrivals and departures on the numerous docks of London and vicinity coincide with the time of the murders gives us dozens of ships from England, Germany, Holland etc, all of which have more than insufficient crew lists to begin with.
   
   In the end the reader is left with a feeling not unfamiliar to the spirit of the book in general - "Okay, JtR might have been a sailor on one of those ships, then again he might not have..."
   
   Whether you are an expert or a novice on the Ripper case I seriously doubt that you can find anything of true interest in this book. To me it was both a waste of time and money.



2. this book is a complete and total rip-off. the publishers blurb tauts new victims and a new suspect. in reality the "new" victims are old news and their new suspect is a flat out lie there is no new suspect only a vague theory about the ripper being a seaman which is also old news. save your money there is literally nothing to this book but a well written and misleading publishers blurb.



3. Not without interest but many of the conclusions pompously put forth by Mr. Marriot are hardly convincing. Indeed the leaps of logic made by the author, a former police detective, rather worry me about the competence of the police in general. And while claiming he looked at the evidence with lofty impartiality it seems clear he views the evidence through the prism of his theory that a merchant seaman committed the crime and moulds the evidence to fit his foreordained conclusion.
   
   Particularly weak is the final section when he pins the crime on one Carl Feigenbaum, who indeed did commit a murder but one that seems to me to have little relation to the crimes of Jack the Ripper. He also tries to tie him into all sorts of murders around the world based on newspaper accounts of murders that were considered (however arbitrarily) to be like the Whitechapel murders. The fact that he can't even prove his suspect was even in the appropriate countries doesn't deter his arrogant certainty that he has finally unmasked Jack. Thus his remarks at the end of the book that he is the only one to look uncritically at the evidence and to have solved the case for everyone but those obsessed with the mystery of the case comes across as both as feeble and unintentionally revealing of his own foibles.
   
   Still not worthless, though by all accounts that are better books on the subject out there.



4. I am a Londoner, grew up interested in the JtR case, I am also the spouse of a retired cop, so I know something of law enforcement protocols. I've read alot of books about this case, last one before this was Patricia Cornwell's work. Hers was a great read, but I felt she had forced some facts to fit her theory and I was not entirely convinced. I liked this book. I liked the fact this author considered all the traditional suspects, he gave the impression he was not trying to make facts fit any one of them in particular. This book gave an impression of impartiality which was refreshing. The long coroner reports could have been edited down for ease of reading. The cover picture suggests modern forensics would be a part of the study, when actual forensic samples are not available, hence the 4 star review instead of 5. Many enthuesiasts will be disappointed that long held beliefs such as the authenticity of the Ripper Letters is dismissed. Many enthuesiasts will hate any book that does not fit their idea of who was guilty of these murders. No 21st century forensics here, just old fashioned impartial detective work - that is a compliment by the way! If you are interested in examining what actually happened back then, and you are not totally stuck on who you think must have done it, then this is a must read.



5. 
   What is it about the human mind that makes us have a morbid curiosity about death, particularly violent death. I for one don't know, but it is there in a great majority of human beings and I seemingly am no different to anyone else. I approached this book with more than a little trepidation but after reading a dozen or so pages, I found it hard to put down.
   
   The book and author claim that 21st. century investigation methods have at last solved the Whitechapel murders. I personally found it inconclusive. The author puts forward a well structured and well thought out case but I personally feel that the timescale is against any investigation. I am sure that there may have been compelling evidence at the time of the murders, evidence that was either discounted, or never written down by incompetent, or by today's standard, poorly trained officers. Other books on the Ripper have intimated that because of who, or what these women were, their deaths were not taken seriously enough by the police, until that is they realised they had a serial killer to deal with.
   
   I found the book a really interesting, if unhealthily morbid read. Perhaps the time scale of one hundred years plus took some of the brutality away from the deaths of these poor unfortunate women, I am not sure. What I do know is that there will always be a fascination with Jack the Ripper, whoever he was . . .

4 comments about River Of Blood: Serial Killers And Their Victims.

1. I have read hundreds off books regarding serial killers but this one takes precedence. The amount of information crammed into this first volume is astounding. And the high number of more obscure serial killers is phenomenal, its surprising how hard it is to find information on some of these lesser known killers. So full credit must go to the co-authors for their dilligence and hardwork. Go ahead buy this book, you will not be disappointed!!!



2. Here is a mammoth book of serial killers. The book is a larger than a normal paperback and it crammed full of cases on it's 360+ pages. It is a must for anyone studying the genre. The introduction about the different kinds of serial killers is great.



3. This is a decent A to Z on serial killers from aound the globe. I would have preferred more detail on the less-known killers; those who get extensive write-ups are the monsters whose stories are common knowledge to the true crime fan.
   
   What really bugged me about this book is the editing/proofreading. The grammar, punctuation, and in some cases spelling throughout this book are atrocious, to the point where there are a few unintentional howlers. The authors thank their editor at the beginning of the book; they should sue her instead!
   
   Most of the information, to my knowledge is accurate, with the exception of the section on the Chicago Rippers: the authors claim that Carol Pappas was a victim. Not true: according to "Deadly Thrills," the book on Gecht and company, Pappas' body was found in her car, immersed in a river, and her death was subsequently ruled accidental.
   
   On the whole, this book is worth reading, if only because it disputes the commonly-held belief that serial murder is uniquely American.



4. The book is awesome, beyond awesome. They have just about everyone you could think of. The only flaw was the editing was god-awful. I don't know who edited the book, but they should be fired, you have to really pay attention or you'll get lost, in some "stories" names change, it gets rather confusing. But other then that it's a great book.

1 comments about Every Mother's Nightmare: The Murder of James Bulger.

1. On Friday, February 12th, 1993 two year old James Bulger disappeared from a crowded shopping mall in Bootle, England. What followed was the most heinous of crimes committed by two 10 year old boys whose actions shocked the entire world with their brutality. Mark Thomas, a reporter for Britain's Press Association, followed the story up to the sentencing and punishment of the young criminals. This book, whilst not going into graphic detail of the crime, attempts to analyse not only the reasoning behind this crime but also the degeneration of youth and what future generations may NOT look forward to in terms of public safety.
   
   While Ralph and Denise Bulger still work through the grief of losing their son, society has to wonder if this type of juvenile recklessness might become a growing trend. 'Every Mother's Nightmare' touches on the reasons for this - broken homes, lack of parental discipline, lack of positive role models, lack of moral fiber in both homes and schools, and of course, a severe lack of positive education. Still, the question remains, did these two pre-pubescents do what they did out of some inability to distinguish right from wrong or were they really just products of their environment? Despite being tried in Bootle's South Sefton Magistrate's Court and showing no remorse for their actions, other than distress over their capture, did they ever understand the ramifications of their actions or how this crime affected everyone involved?
   
   The reader discovers that not only were they not concerned about future consequences but that their actions were carefully pre-meditated and that, when questioned, neither was willing to admit guilt but rather place the blame upon the other. The reader also has to make their own judgements in this case as Thomas, true to journalistic integrity, maintains straight facts without taking sides - something to be commended when writing about such a despicable crime.
   
   As previously mentioned, this book does not go into the gruesome details of the death of little James Bulger but is still shocking enough to move even the most ardent fan of true crime (such as myself). But don't read it for shock value - read it as a stunning expose of the collapse of morality and the loss of innocence.

5 comments about Blood Stains (Pinnacle True Crime).

1. Blood Stains is a powerful book of "Justice Texas Style". Springer places the reader in the postion of seeing it from both sides. Springer raises a true question of "guilt" dispite what would be considered overwhelming evidence. Springer takes the reader through a walk through the judcial system of Texas that is filled with many rushes to judgement.

   The loss of this precious child is devestating, and the greif of both families is so well spelled out in this book.




2. Especially interesting to those of us living right here in Brown County. In a small town you know many if not most of those involved.
   I wouldn't say he wasn't guilty; but any school kid could see he didn't get a fair trial! This mess makes O.J. look legitimate.

   It goes something like this: The guy calls the Sheriff and says they haven't been able to find his step-daughter for a few hours, within a short while they arrest him and put him in jail for kidnapping, no evidence, no body. They take a sample of his blood, hair, pubic hair, semen etc, then promptly "lose" it.

   Then they find the body, in a couple days with matching semen and pubic hair inside?? Then find a bloody ax on the third time they have searched the same vehicle ! And the deputy handles it all over the electrical taped handle till there are no usable fingerprints? Then they get another blood, hair & DNA sample and low & behold it matches! Suddenly about 3 murders are solved. WOW

   Several other incidents and suspicious characters are disregarded.
   Read it for yourself, see what you think.

4. I did not like this book. If you really like reading about what happen all during the trial then you will.

   I don't.

   Patricia Springer is a good author but this one book was very dull & boring.

   Just about 3/4 of the book is the trial. She tells you about the child gone missing & the arrest & then it is the trial totally.

   This man was suspected in 2 rapes & three murders.




5. The case of Ricky Nolan McGinn is an interesting study of the Texas Judicial System. The impression I got when reading this book was that Author Patricia Springer was attempting to relate the story of 12 year old Stephanie Flanary, who was raped and murdered only a short distance from her Brown County, Texas home where she resided with her mother, sister and stepfather, McGinn.
   
   The investigation of this crime was bungled from the beginning. The trial proceedings were just as disorganized and, simply put, became a power struggle between the District Attorney and the defense attorneys. It is in this particular area that the book become extremely tedious as every aspect of the trial is detailed, almost verbatim from the trial transcripts.
   
   If you enjoy reading something that gives way to debatable issue, the case of State vs. Ricky McGinn is one to study. After reading this book, followed by own research online, I came to the conclusion that McGinn was indeed guilty. This issue is actually settled, in my opinion, with the DNA advancements that were made between the time of the crime and prior to his execution. However, many others disagree and believe that McGinn was innocent. You'll have to read, then research, and form your own opinion.

5 comments about Descent into Madness: The Diary of a Killer.

1. This book is great. I recommend it to anybody who likes the outdoors, hunters, fisherman, etc. It's a good true story.



2. I found the book at a local used bookstore and was drawn to it immediately. I am interested in wilderness survival and the fact that Michael Oros was able to survive in the wild for that length of time was reason enough for me to check this book out. I greatly enjoyed the personal look inside Oros' mind that his diary entries afforded. I could relate to alot of what Oros was feeling and it was unfortunate that his hopefull idealism had to come to such a tragic end. It gives alot of insight into the alienation that Oros and alot of people today are feeling when it comes to modern society. The author did a very good job putting it all together into this story.

   Definitely a good read.




3. This book is very interesting and I just couldn't put it down. I recomend it to everyone.



4. We don't know how many there are each year ... people who walk away from society and disappear into the bush. They all have their reasons. We never hear about most of these folks. Their futures are unknown. We only learn about the extraordinary ones whose stories later emerge in the news and intrigue us for years afterwards. If you liked reading about Michael Oros' life in the bush, You'd probably also like these other books: 1) "Notes From The Century Before" by Edward Hoagland (a detailed report on the area where Oros lived, written a few years BEFORE he arrived there; 2) "The Secret Life of Ted Kaczynski" by Chris Waits & Harold Shors (details of his 24 years in the Montana backwoods, written by someone who knew him well during all those years); 3) "The Ridgerunner" by Richard Ripley (the story of the fabled "human coyote", a loner who roamed the forests and mountains of northern Idaho for many years; 4) "Cache Lake Country" by John J. Rowlands (first-person account of his life in the Great North Woods, full of info on woodcraft and nature). Someone else has already mentioned "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer, which is an absolute "must read" book. There's also a different but somehow appealing book called "Within this Wilderness" by Feenie Ziner, which I enjoyed enough to read a couple of times. It's an account of communal life during the early 1970s on an island in the Inside Passage between Vancouver and mainland BC.



5. A fascinating look at what happens when you mix utopian ideals, a strong will, and too much time in isolation. The story of Michael Oros was published three years before Krakauer's "Into the Wild" and shares many similarities, including a gripping, page-turning quality.
   
   Oros dodged the Vietnam draft and headed northward after a stint at a New Mexico commune where drug use was heavy. (Wish we could have learned more about this period, which is only alluded to.) It's not clear how much the period lent to his mental instability. Oros landed in brutally cold northern British Columbia, near the Yukon, and spent about 13 years in the bush eating berries, salmon, moose and building his own cabins from hand-hewn logs. He became a woodsman extraordinare. He envisioned building a "sanity sanctuary" for urbanites, but alienated every would-be business partner with his inflexible ideals and hot temper. He lived alone for a decade under the Northern Lights, with just his dogs to keep him company, and kept thousands of pages of journals, which record his slow descent into madness. It begins one frigid winter night, when he hears voices and laughter taunting him from outside his cabin...
   
   Oros eventually became such a misanthrope that every contact with a trapper or even far-off airplane in the sky was interpreted as a vast conspiracy to crush his virtuous example pure living. His delusions eventually have murderous consequences, and the story is equal parts gripping and tragic.
   
   I'd classify Oros with the contemporaneous Shiva Lila cult (see "Commune" DVD for brief glimpse) and killer Charles Manson ("In His Own Words"). Not on a scale of murderousness, but in the sense that Oros came preaching love, brotherhood and selflessness but in the end strayed into narcissism and murderous intolerance. A great read.

5 comments about Unholy Sacrifice.

1. This book is about a Mormon who believed he was the second coming of Jesus and managed to brainwash his brother and a woman to help him kill five people as part of his attempt to raise money through robbing investments and kiling those who may have known who he really was that he could not control.
   
   My header refers to one woman that Taylor was involved with, a Debra, who claimed she was a Wiccan and who stupidly kept a safe she knew had drugs in it of his in her home. Now this is picky of me, but as a Wiccan myself , it grates me that the author calls the male " witches' warlocks and does not make clear that Wicca is a legitimate religion, not a kooky new age cult.
   
   Aside from that, the book is okay, not Anne Rule level, but okay. I do agree with one reviewer here that the subject could have been handled better and with more depth. There is mention of the submissive brother's interest in Buddhism, for example, and the problem of whether Taylor was in fact mentally ill or faking it was not sufficently examined in this book. The only real valuable thing I can see about this book is that it shows how one person can delude and mislead, almost to the point of mental slavery, at least two other people, to the point of commiting murder. Taylor was obviously narcissitic and actually thought his sexual business fantasies could work, even though he overlooked the reality of human choice. The book is missing some "depth" about the case, which is why I say its okay, not good. It doesn't suck as a true crime book, but I would not keep it as a reference.



2. I have just started Robert Scott's latest book Unholy Sacrifice. I have several of Scott's books, although I have enjoyed his previous books as well, I find this one captivating. Maybe it's because I can identify with the characters more. I anticipate that this book will be received very well, maybe even a top best seller!



3. I give the book 3.5 stars. The writing is pedestrian. Bland death scenes (and these are victims who were bludgeonedz; and/or shot; and/or chopped into bits.) Still, the reporting is objective and the overall story is interesting enough to where I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in 'cult' crimes.



4. This story is bizarre and what's truly scary is I know Dawn Godman. I was roommates with her, it was of course an unusual situation. I was in Jail, Not for anything serious of course. Anyhow I was aware of who she was and when they put me in her room I just almost died! She doesn't talk much or smile much. She always was playing cards with the other girls who were "Lifer's" and "High Profile" case Gals. I never dared ask her about what she had done, or why. I was so freaked out I asked to be transfered out of her room. Luckly I was home in 2 days. It was an experience I will never forget. I bought this book cause it is just too shocking to believe. Another strange coincidence is that if you readthe book you will see that Dawn Godman Used a wheelchair to roll into Kmart to buy the saw with Mrs. Steinman's Credit card. That wheelchair was bought from my Dad's work Bacon East Pharmacy.



5. I thought it was a disurbing book. It was a quick read for me, and I have a short attention span.
