Review: Judge Jury Torturer

Judge Jury Torturer Judge Jury Torturer by Sea Caummisar
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Looking for something a bit grizzly to read look no further then the books of 'Sea Caummisar'.

I'm having finished the Easy Money (Deadly Reality TV) series I have moved on to her next extremehs horror series (Verdict Realty #1: Judge. Jury Torturer) This time we meet Sly Verdict as cool as a cucumber, a successful realtor and guy with a deadly hobby which has a very specific number of rules that must be obeyed.

I can confirm these books are not for the faint heart and definitely not to be read in the reception area of the opticians where I started pulling rather funny faces.

Review: A Parliament of Crows

A Parliament of Crows A Parliament of Crows by Alan M. Clark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The story virtually starts at the end with the three Mortlow sisters being held for murder. The story then shifts back and forth between their childhood during the Civil War and their adulthood in the early 20th century till their eventual arrest.

You learn early in the story that Mortlow sisters are far from innocent the twins Carolee and Mary are extremely cruel and twisted and take delight in causing pain to others.Vertiline the eldest is hard women who will and does anything to protect and keep her family together. But that does not extend to protecting her nieces and nephews.Even though you know the sisters are evil in every aspect of word, the author has written the book in such a way you feel sympathy for the sisters but I can't explain where the sympathy comes from. I don't actually think they do anything to provoke sympathy from the reader apart from the hardships they faced in the Civil War but there experiences were no different from anybody else in the south at the time. All their actions are basically
cold and calculated.

I really enjoyed reading this book and find it hard to put down well done to Alan Clark for another marvelous book based around a true life crimes.

Review: Britain's Unsolved Murders

Britain's Unsolved Murders Britain's Unsolved Murders by Kevin Turton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thank you to Pen & Sword and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy (ARC) of Britain’s Unsolved Murders by Kevin Turton via NetGalley. In exchange for a fair and honest review.

A interesting read about 13 unsolved murders between 1857-1957 in Great Britain.I had already read about a few of cases mentioned in the book but still the book held my interest.

Two cases I found most intriguing were the murders of George and Lillian Peach in 1952 a case I had never come across before and the murder of Evelyn Foster in 1931. Overall the book is very informativy and gives the reader all details he or she needs to know the circumstances surrounding each of the crimes and always useful but not always include the author gives information regarding the people involved in each case (some cases books briefly outline the case then move on to the next).

Definitely recommended to true crime readers.
