I have purchased and read many of RJ Parker's books, but not all of them. When I saw this collection available at such a great price, I jumped on it.Of particular value is the book on Serial Killers that serves as a reference of 100 serial killers from past to present. I find this alone to be a great addition to my true crime library. Cold Blooded Killers and Parents Who Killed Their Children are valuable books as well and deal with some specialized information, a lot that I haven't found elsewhere.I found all of these books to be well-organized and interesting.
I had to give up. "Seeked?"Was an editor even considered?Pronouns were wrong, verb forms made up, names were confused. Sometimes the text read like a (bad) mechanical translation from another language to English. At points I couldn't figure out what the author was trying to say.There is no shortage of this type of book...I encourage the thoughtful reader to look elsewhere.
Here you will find the true stories of Ahmad Suradji AKA Nasib Kelewang who was guilty of 42 killings. Aileen Wuornos who was sentenced to 6 death sentences and was executed by lethal injection. Albert Henry Desalvo AKA The Boston Strangler who was shanked to death over a drug deal while in State Prison. Alexander Pichushkin AKA The Bittsa Beast he was charged with 3 attempted murders and 49 murders but asked the Judge to charge him with 60 murders, he spent the first 15 years of his life sentence in solitary confinement. Many many more fascinating stories. Such a Great Set of Book!!!!
I have read all 3 books in this boxed set by RJ Parker and I will tell you that if you are a true crime fan or just into trying to figure out what makes a serial killer tick then these books are for you. All of this author's work is well researched and you get the facts of each and every case just as they were ment to be read.
Last night, I read these three books (3 in 1) and the thing that sticks most in my mind is the number of killers we have wandering around loose in our country and all over the world. It's one thing for a serial killer to murder five or ten people but some of the killers in the book killed hundreds and most of them were lucky enough not to get caught early on in their "careers". At first, the straight forward business like telling of the murders seemed to be a mistake but as I read on, I realized that a reporter like writing style keeps the stories from being overwhelming mentally. Had the writer injected emotion into his writing, the stark killing of people would have been overwhelming but by keeping it short and concise in the description, it was readily readable. You think you have seen the worst of the worse but then the next killer is even worse. The books are a warning not to drop your guard around strangers because one of them might be a monster. It's a good, solid book but some readers may want to read it in sections so as not to spend the rest of their night hiding under their beds.
RJ Parker has done it again. He has written another awesome book. He just keeps on keeping on. Thank goodness he does. Good news for us - his loyal fans. This is a must read and a must have for any TC fan and TC library.Thanks RJ Parker. You have done it again. Keep on keeping on.
I cannot believe that this was written by a PhD. Several other readers have commented on the poor grammar, so I won't repeat their remarks, but I certainly agree with them. One mistake in particular seems really strange. He describes the wife of a German man giving her the first name "Frau", and repeating this more than once. Seriously, you don't have to know much German to know that "Frau" is just German for "Mrs." The stories are interesting, so I upped the number of stars a little, but I am distracted by the mistakes.
Although there were a few grammatical and spelling errors in this book, it was an enjoyable read. It gave brief insight to some of the more well known murderers throughout history. I would've liked to have seen more details about the crimes and those who committed the crimes, but overall it was a pretty decent read.
