Disturbing

I have read or listened to all of Jamie Malton’s true crime books. This series remains my favorite due to the themed nature of each book.

I found most of these cases disturbing because they all involve the death of young children. It is sickening what some would do to an innocent child. I find the ones regarding nannies most interesting and usually the most vile.

In this book, the Irish nanny’s story struck me the most. It seems she may have been truly innocent, but if that is the case, who did kill the children? I’m curious about cases like this where the one originally convicted is ultimately exonerated but no alternative party is prosecuted. Does the case remain closed? I feel sad for the victims’ families, but also relieved the innocents are released from prison.

If you can handle reviews of crimes against kids, I recommend this book. If not, try one of her others. She does a great job presenting each case with details on both victims and perpetrators. Also, a portion of sales is donated to victims charities. I look forward to reading her next book.

Another great read

Jamie’s stories are comprehensive and entertaining . I always look forward to her books. I use audiobooks and listen to them at night. I enjoy winding down with one of her stories.
