175. Murder, Interrupted: Shocking True-crime Cases by James Patterson


BOOK REVIEW: Murder, Interrupted - Shocking True-crime Cases by James Patterson (courtesy of Pansing)

Ahhhh....what's better than a good book complete with the most macabre murders that you can ever imagine? Twisted thinking you might think...when you read this book your mind becomes equally twisted at just how foul murder can actually be.

Derived from the television series Murder is Forever, the two gruesome stories in this book are brought to life through the tip of his pen making these true cases jump out at you at the worse possible moments.

In the first story, Murder, Interrupted, rich, cheating financier Frank Howard wants his wife dead, and he's willing to pay Billie Earl Johnson whatever it takes. When the bullet misses the mark, Billie and Frank will turn on each other in a fight for their lives.

For Mother of all Murders, you will be wondering how a mother's mentally sick ways almost killed her daughter and how the tables are turned on her. Dee Dee Blancharde is a local celebrity. Television reports praise her as a single mother who tirelessly cares for her wheelchair-bound, chronically ill daughter. When Gypsy Rose realises she isn't actually sick and Dee Dee has lied all these years, the daughter exacts her revenge by murdering her mother.

Reading this book made me feel queasy and utterly at unease because I never knew how criminally charged are the brains of these cold-hearted murderers. Imagine being shot in the face and being left to die but you survive the harrowing ordeal though you are in pieces. 

Unputdownable, this book is great for those who love a good murder novel made even better as these are actually true crime cases. Highly recommended, I'd give this book a 5/5!
