Bible John: A New Suspect by Jill Bavin-Mizzi

[Ms Diddles]

It’s a promising start Barn. It’s going to be Friday when I can re-arrange delivery so I’m going to be over a week behind you. I don’t know if MsD has had hers yet?

No Herlock,

Mine is due next week too.

I'm glad to hear that barnflatwyngarde's initial assessment is that it appears well researched with lots of notes, sources and references.

Hopefully it's going to be interesting.

I'd say it's going to be better than the time we all read that really badly translated Dyatlov Pass book simultaneously, and couldn't work out what the hell was going on!!!

I thought I would start a new thread on the new Bible John book, hopefully providing a one stop shop for folk wanting to discuss the Bible John case in relation to the case against John Templeton.

My copy has just arrived and I will start on it today.

My first impression is that the author seems to have done some serious research, with 13 pages of primary and secondary sources and 43 pages of notes and references back to original sources.

This is something which should be welcomed, as one of the frustrating aspects of the case is that there are loads of stuff on the web about the case, but a distinct lack of reference to primary sources.

Also, the few books about the case are nowhere near as detailed as we would hope for.
None have the intellectual rigour and discipline that we see in the JTR works of Paul Begg, Philip Sugden and Robert House.

Hopefully this book will improve the situation for researchers and interested amateurs.
