1.0 out of 5 stars
A poorly written (or maybe edited?) book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Riverside Killer (Paperback)
This book is poorly written. The first part, about the efforts of detective/co-author Keers to catch serial killer Bill Suff is not bad, but the second part, about Suff's life, rehashes many of the killings and incidents surrounding them in virtually the same words! And in the third part -- about the trial -- one of the incidents is repeated for a third time. What I found extremely annoying about this book was the use of square brackets -- [ ] -- within quotes to supposedly "clarify" what was said. By the book's end, many of these insertions (by the authors or by the editors?) have gone beyond clarification and amount to editorializing. There is at least one instance of brackets which are within the text of a descriptive paragraph -- not a quote! Most of the 16 pages of pictures are of murdered prostitutes (many nude with black bars over their breasts and genital areas) and look like police evidence photos.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Could not put this book down till I finished!,
By Meowzer "meowzer" (Epsom, NH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Riverside Killer (Paperback)
WOW! This book is an Amazing page-turner! Knowing these events actually happened gives the reader a deeper sense of urgency in finding the killer.
Detective Christine Keers showed dedication and tenacity which is all too uncommon today. There is no doubt in my mind that many more people would have died if Christine had taken the easy way out and simply given up early on. Christine Keers certainly has my greatest respect! The victim of any crime would want her in their corner. Thanks for a wonderful book!
