Books on the Case

[lookout]

I think Lomax did a good job with his book. He even had the good grace to sign it too.

Colin actually says very little about Jeremy. He writes of more anger toward June than anyone else as well as his dislike of SJ along with a remark about the relatives.

He does make it clear that he believes he's guilty though!

[lookout]

Well of course he'd have to do wouldn't he ?

why would he have to? he could state his view that he is innocent , if that is indeed his view?

I find it annoying in the Carol Lee book when she goes off into descriptive "fantasy" about how the weather was or the description of how the corn was in the fields etc ! don't need that and a waste of my time to read it , so I am having to skip bits to get to the detail

I don't think it was fantasy but relevant detail(for example it was harvesting) which also made the book personal. If you want a dispassionate look at the facts you'd be better with Blood Relations.

no i mean descriptions like " evening sunlight slanted across the countryside in a blaze of copper as the camper van rattled along the road.."  I dont need to be reading that fantasty


of course the fact it was harvest is relevant that wasnt what i meant , i meant the above type of descriptions that she has added which she has made up , I have read Blood Relations and its a very well written book, not read it in years tho i need to reviist it

Her book does look quite big. So is probably long winded and meandering.

A lot will be on things everyone already knows. It has been decades, several books & the invention of the internet prior to her book.

Has the book given you any new interesting information ? Other posters who have read the book never mention it in regards to new information.

Not sure why she wrote the book. Same old info, different author.  Then again it will make her money.

If she mentions what Bamber told her on different issues that would be interesting. She did interview him. There are many conflicting accounts on what he believes on issues.

I think she struck a deal with him that she would not condemn directly in return for his input.

I think the deal was that she wouldn't reveal (in the book) whether she thought he was innocent or guilty.

I have all Jeremy’s letters from approx 1991 - 2013.
These letters describe in his own words the lead up to the case and what he believed happened during this tragic event. We now know that his understanding of the event, as it was originally depicted by the police in Court, was floored and the real happenings of that night were covered up.

I must state, that in his letters to me, especially the ones from the early days, still remain true.
What I mean is, no evidence to date has been found to incriminate Jeremy or his statements in them.

I am still of the view Jeremy was framed - Jeremy is innocent.

I suppose I have the beginnings of a autobiography here, written in his own words. That should be put into a drama along with the true facts discovered by many members over the years.  Once guilt or innocence could be exposed if done in the right way.

What do you think?

What do you think?

I think you should read some of the books on the case in order to consider a different perspective.
