Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Portrait of a Killer Jack the Ripper Case Closed

I liked this book, even though I don't agree with the author's conclusion. It is well thought out and presented and very interesting. With all the different theories on Jack the Ripper this one at least makes some sense. It's also a fun read.

What The Corpse Revealed Murder & The Science of Forensic Detection
by

, January 11, 2009
I was under the impression when I picked up this book that is was true crime. After reading it however, I think it is made up. There is nothing here to indicate that these stories actually happened. Some seemed familiar as if they borrowed from actual cases,but research on the internet failed to find any of the cases presented in this book. Although the stories are quite entertaining, this is not True crime.

Shot in the Heart

I read this book a few years ago, but it has stayed with me. The family background is such that it was no wonder that the sons turned out the way they did. Except for the last boy, they were abused by their father. It is an interesting book, but sad and tragic for this family and the brother who is left behind.

Starvation Heights A True Story of Murder & Malice in the Woods of the Pacific Northwest
by
Gregg Olsen

This is another great book by Greg Olsen. Im hardly ever dissappointed in his stuff. This is a story of 2 young women in the early 1900's who have more money than sense. They get involved with Dr Hazzard, who took advantage of their innocence and total belief in her. Its true crime at its best especially if, like me, you like historical crime.
