Crimes Canada #16

Above Suspicion: The True Story of Serial Killer Russell Williams

Rate this book
Young girl’s panties started to go missing; sexual assaults began to occur, and then female bodies were found! Soon this quiet town of Tweed, Ontario, was in a panic. What's even more shocking was when an upstanding resident stood accused of the assaults. This was not just any man, but a pillar of the community; a decorated military pilot who had flown Canadian Forces VIP aircraft for dignitaries such as the Queen of England, Prince Philip, the Governor-General and Prime Minister of Canada.

This is the story of serial killer Russell Williams, the elite pilot of Canada’s Air Force One, and the innocent victims he murdered. Unlike other serial killers, Williams seemed very unaffected about his crimes and leading two different lives.

Alan R. Warren describes the secret life including the abductions, rape, and murders that were unleashed on an unsuspecting community. Included are letters written to the victims by Williams and descriptions of the assaults and rapes as seen on videos and photos taken by Williams during the attacks.

A Special Note from the author...
"On Tuesday, April 2, this past Autism Awareness Day 2019, I decided to let my fans of both radio and writing that I myself am autistic. The struggle for me to speak the words that I could only read has taken many years of work and practice in order to fool broadcasters into hiring me for radio. Even then I kept is secret as I worked to allow the writer in my mind to be able to get those words on paper. I dedicate all of my public works to any others out there struggling with the same challenge that I have, as well as any obstacles you might have in accomplishing your dreams."

Only a "summary"... much like a Reader's Digest version. If you want an indepth look, this is not the book to read.

This was terrible. Poorly written, under-researched, devoid of any insights. The only reason I finished it is that it’s mercifully very short.

Short

Could have been more detailed. Anyone could have written this story as it is not very detailed at all. Writing was good within itself just needed to have more of the story.

This was a short read for when I spent a day of travelling and I didn't have high hopes for the execution. It was rushed, under-researched and not at all sensitive to what the crimes were.

What sets this book apart from other true crime accounts is Warren’s ability to capture both the shocking betrayal of trust and the psychological complexities of a killer who seemed almost indifferent to his own monstrous acts. It’s a haunting portrait of how evil can lurk in the most unexpected places—even behind the uniform of a national hero.

Above Suspicion is a gripping, unsettling, and essential read for anyone fascinated by true crime. Warren’s storytelling is clear, compelling, and unflinching, making this one of the most definitive accounts of the Russell Williams case to date.

A good book that goes into great detail

I had heard of this man before but never have I read about him and his crimes in such detail. This is a good read for any true crime reader. It is a fast read, I finished it in about 2 hrs with breaks.
