Book Reviews - Murders/Suicide at WHF
« on: May 30, 2012, 04:11:PM »
As far as I'm aware only four books have been written re the above as follows:

Colin Caffell - In Search Of The Rainbow's End

Roger Wilkes - Blood Relations: Jeremy Bamber And The White House Farm Murders

Claire Powell - Murder At White House Farm: Story Of Jeremy Bamber

Scott Lomax - Jeremy Bamber: Evil, Almost Beyond Belief?

I know a few posters have recently read Colin's book and I've noted their comments.  But was just wondering about other posters and whether they have read Colin's book and/or any of the other books?  If so general feedback would be welcome and we might glean something from this.

I have a copy of the original manuscript to Roger Wilkes' book.

Have never read the book though - just the manuscript!

Just out of interest Mertol22, are there any stories about Southend? You can pm me so as to keep it out of this thread. Many thanks.

Hello - Is that because of your knowledge or because it's your job?

There's also a book available for kindle, but it's really short. I have downloaded it but not read it yet as I can't quite get to grips with the whole kindle thing!

I have a copy of the Roger Wilkes book Blood Relations and have read it a couple of times.

With regard to a question of pro / anti or impartial? In my opinion Roger Wilkes' book is impartial and he invites the reader to draw there own conclusions. However, I do recall Roger Wilkes' does conclude only Jeremy really knows the answer.

I started reading this yesterday and there is some very interesting dialogue in the first chapter. Some of the descriptions of JBs behaviour I have never read and it comes across as almost incriminating at times due to the fact that he goes from being overcome with emotion to seemingly fine. In general it has so far been intriguing
