Review of The World's 20 Worst Crimes (Paperback)

My daughter recommended this to me, she's right, it's riveting. It has some interesting use of Brit phraseology, and I like that some of the crimes are in places other than the USA.

Product Description
Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, The Hillside Stranglers...serial killers are the most horrific of all criminals. Striking widespread fear, their obsession with random and unimaginable violence has also captured the public imagination in films and books. But in real life, they are so much worse...
In this new book, Kate Kray peers into the minds of the 20 most infamous serial killers in criminal history and, sparing no detail, looks at the awful truth of their abominable acts. The extreme nature of their violence and their shocking lack of remorse makes for uncomfortable, yet fascinating reading. From obsessive sexual predators to cannibals and head hunters, each type of psychopath is examined in turn, offering insights into the motivations of those who seem closer to monsters than human beings.

About the Author
Whilst married to Ronnie Kray, Kate gained access to a fearsome underworld few would dare to enter. Her books offer the reader a totally unique perspective of Britain's underworld, her connections allowing her to ask uncomfortable questions few would dare to ask such men. To read her is to take a walk on the truly wild side and survive.

Review of Defending Gary: Unraveling the Mind of the Green River Killer (Paperback)

Well written book.Authors had a good understanding of Gary Ridgway and yet did not lose caring about those whose lives were ended or forever changed by his behavior.By reading this book, it became clear to me that Gary Ridgway was a person who had no ability to perceive his victims as real people.Those who cared for the victims are desperate for bits of information about what happened to them.Gary doesn't know--he killed them and dumped their bodies and that's all he knows.This book gives a good understanding of the grueling months of trying to gather information and find bodies and the toll it took on all involved.I would have preferred a little less of the verbatim interviews with Gary--the book was overly long.I also didn't see the relevance of all the information about the Prothero family and their swimming skill.All in all, however, this book is recommended to those who are still trying to understand these murders which were so horrific for so many.
