Serial Killer: The Bamber Family Murders
The Bamber Family Murders:
It seemed an open-and shut case. This middle class family had been killed in a fit of derangement by their beautiful adopted daughter, who then killer herself. Only the handsome son was left. At least, that was what everyone was supposed to think
Time of Death:
When a body is found, the police surgeon takes charge at the scene of discovery. He disturbs the body as little as possible until photographs have been taken, and then makes a number of on-the-spot observations to establish the time of death before the body is removed to the mortuary.
Dentist of Death:
Many criminals think that they can outwit the law by ensuring that the evidence if their crime is never found. Doctor Samuel Perera was such a man. He thought he cold get away with murder.
The Mad Bomber of New York:
New York’s ‘Mad Bomber’ was brought to justice with the assistance of the first psychological profile of a criminal. It remains one of the most amazingly accurate depictions of the criminal mind ever recorded

Despite All His/Her Elucidations About Post-Death Body Decomp, Author Needs To "Bone Up" On "Killer Classifications"
This "book" (and I use that term solely for convenience) is a "HOT MESS" . 52 pages, dealing with 3 different killers, none of whom qualify as a "serial killer". 52 pages that aren't really 52 pages, given that a large number of them consist of only 1 or 2 paragraphs. 52 pages in which the author seems more concerned about demonstrating his/her knowledge of biological processes and forensic techniques rather than telling the reader about the crimes purportedly being "presented". The one positive impression I can share is that the author seems to do okay (for the most part) with grammar & sentence construction. But, I really just don't get the whole point of this endeavor.

The book was good in that it talked about cases I was not familiar with. But there were a lot of typos that detracted from the stories told. I particularly liked the Mad Bomber of NY chapter.

March 7, 2020Complete pile of poop not even worth half a star
Has maybe 3 pages about what it states the book is about then goes off on other non related cases
Also the few pages that are about whitehouse farm have 99% of the facts WRONG
Total rubbish thank heavens it was FREE

Interesting read
I enjoyed reading this title. The fact that there isn't much fluff made it an easy read. Really liked the extra details

What?
The Bamber story just sort of ended and all of a sudden I was in a variety of other stories. I felt all stories were too abbreviated.

Impressive shorts
4 stars for this book as it contained not 1, but 4 short & informative stories.
The Bamber Family Murders reads like a police report: short but definitive in details.
Time of Death: a procedural of after death circumstances & the objectivity of the coroner - informative.
Dentist of Death: a dentist, hiding evidence.
The Mad Bomber of NY: reports the first ever psychological profile.

August 30, 2024Not What I Expected
This book was not what I expected. True Crime Stories are one of my favorite genres,so I thought I would enjoy reading this one,boy was I wrong,it started off slow and then just got strange never elaborating on anything. I also couldn't figure out why the bomber story was included. I would not recommend this book and truly wish I wouldn't of wasted my money on it or wasted my time reading it.

One star is.....
I chose one star because that was as low as I could go. The grammatical errors, as well as spelling was hideous. Also, the repeating over and over again the same paragraphs. How did this even get published?? I finished the book because it is a habit of mine. Definitely done with this author.......

This short DIY book actually discusses three cases and gives a lengthy overview of forensic techniques. It's disjointed and contains plenty of typos that seem to plague such efforts, but it's still better than many of this type.

A short read
Only the first third of this book concerns the Bamber family murders. The remainder covers various topics and crimes. The book, although very short, is quite interesting but contains an unacceptable number of typos.

True murder and forensics.
Very short book ( 53 pages) centering on three cases. Too short with many grammatical errors. If the stories went into more detail it would be a better book.

Great summary of several stories
Good read. Several cases that I had never heard of. An interesting mixture, both US and out of the states stories. The refresher on forensic terminology was excellent also.

Good Storys
I loved the actual story's, the medical jargon was quite uninteresting for me. Read the first section but skipped to the next text after that.
