Quite a few true crime titles ... Just a few examples ...  A Love To Die For -- the true story of the youngest woman on death row (Christa Pike).  A Wife's Revenge -- the true story of Susan Wright, who stabbed her husband over 100 times and then buried him in the back yard.

I have an unpostable hardcover copy (pictures are included but seperate from the book).  It's one of the better true crime I have read lately. 

I will send it with an order  from my shelf, or a buddied credit.

  • I just listed a bunch of true crime books I bought in London in the 1980's.  They are paperbacks in good condition because I only read them onc e and they have been sitting on my shelf feeling very left out.  The best of the lot is probably The Murders of the Black Museum 1870-1970.  It is an account of New Scotland Yard's museum with histories of 50 of the most notorious murders.  My personal favorite is Murder on the Home Front, a book about murder investigation during the Blitz.  Please take a look.  Thanks

Looking for people who want my books !!!

See a book or two or three?

Let's make a deal!!

I'm moving and don't want to lug these to the new place ... books gotta go!

Lots of sci-fi and romance with some kids and mystery/thrillers too.

I do have a few true crime books too.

I'm looking for deals on true crime. Also, I'll be happy to make a 3 books for 1 credit deal on all paperbacks of my bookshelf. Presently I only have 2 true crime left:

"Nightmare in Napa:The Wine Country Murders" by Paul LaRosa and

"Preacher's Girl:The Life and Times of Blanche Taylor Moore" by Jim Schutze

Both of these books are excellent IMO and I will add more true crime to my shelf as I read them.

Thank you, Suzie

I have a dozen or so True Crime books on my shelf. If you would like to get a 2-for-1 deal, please PM me when placing an order.

 

These books were given to me by my Mom, so I haven't read them and really can't comment on which ones are better than others.

I have an unpostable copy of "Shallow Grave in Trinity County" by Harry Farrell #0312206720.

Book is wish-listed by two people, but  the cover is "chewed" up. 

I will send this book FREE with any order from my shelf.

However,  if smoke smell bothers you, don't order.

PM me if you are interested.

I am shocked, shocked I say!,  that this book has been on my shelf for two and a half years!  Before I consign it to the area next to the trash shute in my building, is there anyone here interested in early to mid-20th century crime?  Sir Sydney discusses 22 of his pathology cases including:

Child-murder in Aberdeen

The Ruxton case

War and Ballistics

The Case of Annie Hearn

The Murder of the Sirdar
