Actually I only read this because I wanted accuracy in a book I'm writing, and since I read it, I figured I might as well review it.Sharon Wilfonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466621290140789056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948826710613032587.post-65897153880289056002019-06-23T19:48:30.332-07:002019-06-23T19:48:30.332-07:00I can handle this sort of topic in fiction but not...I can handle this sort of topic in fiction but not so much in real life & I didn't know that the murderer had never been caught. I just finished reading A Mind to Murder by P.D. James - set in a psych clinic & the murder was committed by someone with medical knowledge. Have you read any of her books? I think her writing is excellent from a literary point of view but sometimes she gets too graphic for me.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948826710613032587.post-8494633011536894452019-06-18T19:50:05.545-07:002019-06-18T19:50:05.545-07:00we all live in our own universes...we all live in our own universes...mudpuddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647084124715892324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948826710613032587.post-43155182465788594892019-06-18T18:32:27.411-07:002019-06-18T18:32:27.411-07:00It's funny you say that.

He absolutely does not want to hear about it.<br /><br />However, I did not graphically describe anything in this post. The book does not either, or at least not in a gratuitous sense, only in a clinical one.<br /><br />Great to have you back, mudpuddle.Sharon Wilfonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466621290140789056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948826710613032587.post-10627889362576032262019-06-18T17:01:07.069-07:002019-06-18T17:01:07.069-07:00i've always known ladies are the stronger sex....i've always known ladies are the stronger sex... i'd be catatonic if i read this... i didn't even read your excellent review... a little bit maybe...mudpuddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16647084124715892324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948826710613032587.post-77048882550189152062019-06-17T12:01:20.322-07:002019-06-17T12:01:20.322-07:00HI Brian.

It simply gave the facts, but ultimately I don't think we'll ever know.<br /><br />I'll let you know when my story is published and ready for an audience. No pressure.

The book sounds very worthwhile. I think that there are a lot of single theory books out there that push a single theory as it who the killer was. This book seems to give a balanced overview. <br /><br />Your ghost story sounds interesting. <br /><br />Take care! Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
