While I am fascinated by the interesting combination of subject matter in True Crime Astrology, I must confess that a lot of it went over my head. With my scant knowledge of astrology, I couldn't tell if Edna Rowland's methods of "rectification" are legitimate, and I found myself getting bogged down when the material went heavily into astrological analysis. Regardless, the book is well written, and it more than entertained my morbid curiosity. I think that anyone with a little more knowledge of astrology will find this a captivating book.

This review is from: True Crime Astrology: Famous Murders and Suicides (Paperback)

Fascinating look at what makes criminals (and suicides) tick. Includes Ted Bundy, the deaths of John Lennon & Marilyn Monroe. Reads like a detective story, and includes astrological charts of key players. Lots of documentation and research went into this book. This is not a "who-dunit" but a "why-dunit"! Makes you ponder if you should have your newborn's chart cast for the future.
