So far he is only keeping one of his daughters locked up in the cellar. But I'm not even halfway done yet, so who knows.
A coincidence! I just watched a documentary about Fritzl last night!

Just started 'CALIFORNIA' by Edan Lepuki
Reading Blood in the Snow: The True Story of a Stay-at-Home Dad, his High-Powered Wife, and the Jealousy that Drove him to Murder by Tom HendersonWhat a textbook psychopath this guy is! I don't need to be Dr. Hare to label him one either. Too obvious.
Great read so far. I find some of the sentences a bit "run on" that can take me out of the reading for a sec but that's minor.
UPDATE: Finished. Great case but I am not keen on the writing style. Would recommend it though!!
Just started listening to The Night StalkerThe last time i listened to this I woke in the middle of the night and i thought someone had their hands round my throat.
Now reading the The Yoga Store Murder: The Shocking True Account of the Lululemon Athletica Killing by Dan Morse

I have badly wanted to read that one, Koren. I look forward to your review.

Now that's what I call effective writing!

You will probably not look at the Kennedy's in the same light again.

I just finished The Yoga Store Murder: The Shocking True Account of the Lululemon Athletica Killing by Dan MorseHighly recommend this one. Very well written and balanced.

Read Deadly Voices: The True Story of Serial Killer Herbert Mullin by C.L. SwinneyShort book and a quick read. A strange case and I am still not sure what to make of Mullin.
I cannot stand short books. Glad you posted it Shelley!

I started reading The Alcohol Murders: The True Story of Serial Killer Gilbert Paul Jordan but wasn't getting into it. Maybe later.Meanwhile, started The Anatomy of Evil by Michael H. Stone. So far so good. I have been wanting to read this for a long time now.
The Alcohol Murders is one book I haven't heard of and I was wondering if you would recommend it Shelley?
Now I will add The Anatomy of Evil to my 'want to read' list.
have just started reading The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule. random find at a great local bookstore yesterday, can't seem to put it down. hoping that my book light won't die! lol
Rita wrote: "The Alcohol Murders is one book I haven't heard of and I was wondering if you would recommend it Shelley?"Rita, the Alcohol Murders is a short book, it may just be an e book, I'm not sure. You can get it free from Amazon right now if you have Amazon Prime.
I'm watching "Making a Murderer" on Netflix and I'm also reading The Innocent Killer, by Michael Griesbach. Great reading!
Rita wrote: "The Alcohol Murders is one book I haven't heard of and I was wondering if you would recommend it Shelley?"Sorry, didn't see your question. I can't recommend it - at least not yet. I started it but wasn't "feeling it" and started another book. :)
I'm reading Columbine by Dave Cullen. Can't put it down!
Katherine wrote: "I'm reading Columbine by Dave Cullen. Can't put it down!"I'll be interested to know what you think of that one.
Katherine wrote: "I'm reading Columbine by Dave Cullen. Can't put it down!"That is a good one.
Quick read. Recommend to animal lovers. Huck: The Remarkable True Story of How One Lost Puppy Taught a Family - and a Whole Town - About Hope and Happy Endings
Gosh Zippy, this looks very touching and emotional. I will put it on my wish list!
Katherine wrote: "I'm reading Columbine by Dave Cullen. Can't put it down!"Katherine, that was an exciting book to read. You can't put it down, niether could I.

No worries Shelley. I will track it down.....somewhere. lol
Just finished Nanodaemons and Village of the Dead for my review group. Both were quite good, the first one a futuristic imagining of the life of nanotechnology and the second a creepy little horror vignette that's part of a serialized novel.

One of my favorites. It was so interesting how the media coverage and the truth were so divergent.
Rita wrote: "Gosh Zippy, this looks very touching and emotional. I will put it on my wish list!"I can see you liking it Rita.
Rita wrote: "Katherine wrote: "I'm reading Columbine by Dave Cullen. Can't put it down!"Katherine, that was an exciting book to read. You can't put it down, niether could I."
YES it was a good book.
I am reading: Blood Royal-A True Tale of Crime and Detection in Medieval Paris by Eric Jager.
I am greatly enjoying There Is No God and He Is Always with You: A Search for God in Odd Places. You can always count on Brad Warner for a good read.
Just finished Velia and the Magician: Book 1 of Alexios. It has nothing to do with magic, it's an historical novella set in 1924 Harlem.
