books about: homicide     books:       Practical Homicide Investigation Tactics, Procedures, and Forensic Techniques: Tactics, Procedures, and ...29 reviews Vernon J. Geberth CRC, 1992 One of the most informative pieces I have ever read. The book is incredibly detailed, offering everything from identification of proper techniques and forms (what they look like and how to fill them out) to deconstructing a crime scene. Everything regarding a homicide was covered, and if you believe you know everything from CSI, you should realize that one of the author's chief concerns was often discrediting the show and blaming it for the ...             The Meaning of Matthew: My Son's Murder in Laramie, and a World Transformed25 reviews Judy Shepard Hudson Street Press, 2009 Finding Acceptance after Tragedy I picked this book off the shelf at the library, but by the time I got home I didn't want to read about Matthew Shepard's murder from his mother's perspective so I put it on the bottom of the stack. Good thing, because once I started reading it, I kept going until I finished at 3:00 a.m. I knew that at the end Matt was going to die, but what was so compelling about this story was the way Judy ...             Handbags and Homicide (Haley Randolph Mysteries)19 reviews Dorothy Howell Kensington, 2009 LAUGH OUT LOUD HILARIOUS This may be the funniest book I've ever read. Hilarious from the get-go striaght to the end. Different reviewers comment on Haley's character (or lack thereof) and about whether you want to root for her or not. That didn't even come into play for me; I was too busy laughing my head off. I will be reading every one of the Haley Randolph books and all I can say is, Dorothy Howell, thank you, thank ...             Homicide Special13 reviews Miles Corwin Audio Renaissance, 2004 Riveting My husband picked this book up from a bargain table at Borders. I was skeptical, looking at the cover, but it's one of the best true crime books I've read. Throughout the accounts of each murder investigation, Miles Corwin peppers you with intriguing information about the detectives, the victims, the suspects, various LA neighborhoods and LA history. It's riveting, to say the least, and you don't ...             The Prom Queen22 reviews R. L. Stine Demco Media, 1992 One Hell Of a Prom I got this book from the libery and I read in a week and was so amazed of how great it was. Even the first sentence in the book was so intersting- " We couldn't stop talking about the killer." The book was so fast paced and idickting. I loved the way R.L Stine just kept on killing off character after character. This was one of the few books where the story is narirated by the main character and ...             Deadly Deception14 reviews Betsy Haynes Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 1994 Very Suspenseful Deadly Deceptions by Betsy Haynes was an excellent book.

I have never read a better book, either fiction or non-fiction. I too was the abused child of a family full of secrets never disclosed. This book was full of staggering insight for me. I had read 'The Executioner's Song' in high school, and can still remember the controversy surrounding the execution of Gary Gilmore in 1975, while I was in ...             JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE19 reviews B.

Woodhouse Corinthian Books, 2001 Captures the Complex Psychology of a Child Criminal As a criminal lawyer I was intrigued to read Shooter on a cross-country flight. As the author would know, most of these kids are first-time offenders, going straight to murder. Dr. Woodhouse captures the torment and confusion that set in when they realise what they have done. Most of them have never seen the inside of a police station, let alone a prison, let alone a maximum security prison. ...             High Heels and Homicide8 reviews Kasey Michaels Thorndike Press, 2006 Brilliant! I'm a huge Kasey Michael's fan--if I see a new release with her name on it, I grab it immediately. But especially, I've devoured the Maggie series--just LOVE them--and High Heels and Homicide is no exception. As the other reviewers have said, this story largely takes place at an English country estate where Maggie's book is being made into a film, and it's one entertaining ride! So often, ...             In Eddie's Name: One Family's Triumph over Tragedy11 reviews Bryn Freedman, William Knoedelseder Faber & Faber, 1999 Hit Close to Home I am 17 years old, and in june 2000 I was brutally assaulted by 3 kids with baseball bats and had to have reconstructive surgery on my skull.
