I've got it and it's a good book. My only criticism is that there are no photos. Try ordering it again Stan

Hi Belinda. Was it well-researched and professionally written? I recently ordered a book on the Oklahoma Girl Scout murders and while it appears to have been well-researched, it was horribly written, so I stopped reading it early on. We take our chances in the modern world of self-publishing, but then, Frank Spiering published 'Prince Jack' 35 years ago, so bad books are nothing new, I suppose.

Yours truly,

If you guys want to read an excellent and chilling true crime book, I recommend Trace Evidence by Bruce Henderson. It's about the I-5 Strangler.

Yours truly,

The author has written a lot of true crime books. It seems well researched and plenty of notes.

Yes, I have had some email exchanges with him and contributed to one of his publications for which he gave me a thanks in the book's forward.

I don't have cable or satellite but I see that the Lifetime movie about Lizzie Borden is scheduled to debut on the network Saturday evening, January 25. Hope to hear some reviews. Christina Ricci can certainly look creepy enough for Lizzie but from the trailers she looks too sexy for Lizzie, that is if you are going for accuracy.

Did anyone see the new Lizzie movie?

[sdreid]

I'll have to wait for the Bluray

[Livia]

Save your money, Stan.

It was inaccurate on several points and the background music
was hard rock.

OK thanks Livia. I was a slightly concerned that Christina Ricci might be a little too sexy for the part but she does have the crazy eyes going anyway. At least she's approaching sexy when she fattens up to a size 2.

Does anyone get good use finding true crime movies on this site?

I see that Frozen Ground is supposedly available in discs for rent and purchase now.

Did anyone see the new Lizzie movie?

According to a catalog I received in the mail, it's now available on discs.
