Summary: A PAGE TURNER
Review: I read the author's first book because we share a home state, last name and first initial. I liked that book, which was a surprise because i didn't read true crime.

This latest is a real page turner. I was glad i was on vacation when i read it because i couldn't put it down. it was like watching an impending train wreck -- you know what's coming, you know it's going to be tragic, but you can't take your eyes away.

Summary: Blood Justice by Tom Henderson
Review: I'm not a huge fan of the true crime genre. But agreed to read this book after a friend could not stop talking about it. I'm glad that I did. This book is terrifying. It lets us all know that anyone can be a victim. The author succeeded in making you feel like you were there. READ THIS BOOK!

Summary: Creepy...
Review: I'm not a huge fan of true crime but I was looking for one that my husband wanted to read and saw this on the shelf, so needing something to read, I bought it. It was a gripping, hard to put down read and absolutely terrifying. Jeff Gorton was apparently, just a normal guy living a normal life, who'd even fooled his wife of several years. A loving father, a good friend, a nice looking guy. But the murders he committed were so awfully gruesome. I can't imagine the terror the victims felt when he descended on them. And I have a hard time understanding how, after doing something so awful, this man was able to carry on with his life as if nothing at all had happened. It was just so strange. I've never in my life read such a disturbing story. My heart goes out to both the Eby family and Arthur Ludwig and for all they have endured as a result of this man. If you like reading true crime, this is definitely a must read. But be prepared, it is terribly graphic and gruesome.

Summary: One of the Best
Review: Mr. Henderson does what only a few good true crime writers has the talent to do, he takes newspaper headlines and police reports, and tells a story. I have read books by just about every writer of the genre and can attest that this ability does not come easy. Well researched and with loyalty to the facts of the crime and its aftermath, he is able to hold the reader's interest until the last page. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys true crime. Ann Rule, watch out!
