The Ladykiller: A deadly thriller filled with shocking twists

Appallingly written - repetitive - everyone is 'loved with a passion' or 'hated with a vengeance' (or at least once, 'loved with a vengeance'. It was telling his wife he wanted a divorce that was going to be the killer . . . Jenny is not just any girl. She cares nothing for Cain’s hard-man reputation – she just wants to be with him

Los capítulos son muy breves y eso ayuda a que la lectura sea fluida durante la mayor parte del tiempo, pero eso no impidió que yo siguiera pensando que sobraban páginas y que la autora cometió un error monumental con el dichoso prólogo y la sinopsis.British crime writer Martina Cole examines the life and times of the most notorious female serial killers across history and asks: why do women kill, and why are we surprised when they do? This was my first Martina Cole book so my expectations were fairly high...after all Cole is considered to be one of the great British best-selling crime authors. What I expected was a gripping and gritty crime novel, what I got was a complete mess. Parts of the book began to get on my nerves, such as being told that Caroline was a realist several times, and like the previous book, gangland crime and violence was glamorised, and the police (or 'filth' as they were called) were bad people who were unnecessarily violent (!) I could not bring myself to like any of the characters in this book, there were literally no redeemable qualities for any of them, Which made it hard to complete the rest of the story as I didn't care what happened to them. The Good Life is an interesting book in which the central character truly does learn, grow and change his life by the end of the novel. Cain Moran lives a life of crime. Jenny Riley is a naive, young girl. The novel tells a love story revolving around Cain and the love he has for Jenny. Cain is a face in London, England who seems to have it all. In her turn, Jenny is not interested in Cain's hard man reputation all she wants is to be with him. For Cain, loving Jenny Riley was the easy part; it was telling his wife, Caroline, that he wanted a divorce that was going to be the killer, because when Caroline said 'til death us do part', she meant it. When Cain is sentenced to life in prison it seems that Caroline might have got her wish.

Among the best movies and shows similar to Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story is one of the many documentaries on the killer himself. Fresh Meat: Jeffrey Dahmer is heralded as a fast-paced Cliff Notes style look at the infamous serial killer's life, but it also contains graphic descriptions of Dahmer's crimes that may not be appropriate for all audiences.

DI Kate Burrows is about to enter an investigation that will change her career and personal life forever. But she has no idea just what this killer is capable of, and how much she might be putting at risk to find him. The Good Life tells a great story and an easy read. I enjoyed it, although some of the graphic detail of murders were a bit difficult. If you are not easily offended by bad language or violence, you might enjoy The Good Life too. Ted Bundy is undoubtedly one of the most infamous and well-known serial killers in America. Bundy had confessed to thirty-six murders, but some have speculated that there may have been more (per History). Caroline es el personaje más inestable, no es ninguna santa y no deja indiferente con sus actos. Jenny flojea porque la autora la pinta como alguien que rara vez muestra un carácter fuerte ante los ataques que recibe o las desgracias que vive. Mientras Cain esté con ella, pues es como si todo diera igual. Cain es prácticamente el mismo durante todo el libro, pasan décadas y no noté cambios en él. Jenny evoluciona un poco más, pero incluso cuando le sucede algo muy trágico, vi que se volvía a destacar que lo que le importaba es que Cain y ella pudieran estar juntos.

I am by no means an expert in English literature (you'll have to bear with me and my critiquing on this review!) but I honestly cannot understand how anyone could think that this was a good novel. But there are greater trials ahead than either can foresee. They’re about to learn the hardest lesson of all......As one of the many who took part in baby farming - a late nineteenth and early twentieth-century adoption and fostering method - Amelia Dyer was a cold-hearted woman who killed the infants placed with her rather than taking care of them. Evidence pointed to at least 12 murders, with some experts speculating that there were many more (per Thames Valley Police).
