Bible John: A New Suspect by Jill Bavin-Mizzi

[barnflatwyngarde]

I'm wfh tomorrow so will finally be collecting mine from the post office too.

I have finished the book, and I'm pulling my scribbled notes together..
I am also jumping back into the book to clarify some things.

I hope you guys enjoy the book, I certainly did.
I'll try and post on it later this week.

The whole thing is made doubly strange for me because I worked with the suspect named by Jill Bavin-Mizzi in the book.

And not the off-licence

My book is being re delivered on Thursday. I might have to put the one I’m currently reading on hold.

Haha! Not at all, Herlock!

I'm just lazy and wanted to get home to the cats (and the wine)!

That’s a good enough reason

[Ms Diddles]

In this weather I can’t say that I can blame you. Do you live in one of those places where things are miles apart? I tried to re-arrange a delivery today but the system was down. Obviously due to that power outage. I’ll try again tomorrow. Calmly this time.

I'm not out the starting block yet, Herlock!

It was either collect the book from the post office or go to the shop to pick up a bottle of wine when I finished work!

No prizes for guessing which I chose!

Dat's ma girl!
I'm glad that you're embracing the Glaswegian culture vibe.

I have just finished the book, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It is the best overall book on Bible John, in my opinion, but it's a pretty low bar to be honest.
There is a long, detailed, but necessary, section on the geneological connection between John McInnes and John Templeton.
It is clear that the author is prepared to do the hard yards when it comes to doing the necessary research, and I think that it pays off.

I will type up my notes, and post a more detailed critique later next week.

I am really looking forward to hearing both your opinion Ms D and also Herlock.

I have to phone in the morning to rearrange delivery then I’ll have to catch up with you and MsD.

Hi Ms D,
I'm a third of the way in, and I'm really enjoying it.
She's a serious writer, and it comes with loads of references to primary and secondary sources.
She is also honest enough to acknowledge one of the main problems with this case is the lack of official sources to refer to.
I'm taking loads of notes, and although I'm fairly up to speed with the case, I'm getting a much clearer view of the case as I read on.
I suppose that's the ultimate accolade really.
But I'll look forward to yours and Herlock's view on the book.

Thanks Barn!

This sounds promising!

I'll update when I've collected and read it!

I missed delivery of my book today so need to collect it from the Post Office tomorrow.

It will probably be next week before I start it.

How's it shaping up barnflatwyngarde?

[Herlock Sholmes]

Yes, that was a difficult read. It was in the same league as David Lifton’s JFK Assassination book Best Evidence. The Dyatlov pass book wasn’t complete tripe though. It was just written by someone who didn’t know what clarity is.

[barnflatwyngarde]

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!!!

Damnit Janet!

I had just about purged that whole Dyatlov Pass book from my tortured soul.

Oh well, I'll just have to hit the gym more this week and overdose on endorphins.

God, that was a very strange book.
