well-written British account of terrible domestic murder
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is a very well-written book, and I am hoping that the author has written other books......This one is the true story of the murder of a family of five -- mother, father, daughter, twin grandsons -- probably by the son, Jeremy Bamber. Jeremy was good-looking and charasmatic and very arrogant. He wanted money for his high life-style of traveling, light drug use, dressing well, lots of girlfriends, etc. and apparently didn't want to wait for his parents (adoptive parents, at that) to die, or to share any inheritance with his sister (who was also adopted). I don't want to give away anymore of the story, but even knowing these details going in, it is so well written and there are so many interesting characters, I read this book quickly and hated to see it end. The biological parentage of Jeremy will surprise eveyone not familiar with this tale of horror in Britian. I am hoping the author has written more books of this sort, because she was very thorough and unbiased. If you like true crime, this one is a keeper!
