Awesome true crime book reviews

Kiss the Girls (Alex Cross, #2) cover

This is book two. In the Alex Cross Series. It was a fast paced, gripping story. Two murderers on opposite coasts of the USA, who seem to be competing with each other. Can this case be solved? This story is full of twists and surprises. I also enjoyed seeing some of the story from the villains view point. Their thoughts, how they would never be caught etc.

I was born and raised in Chicago. In 2001, R. Kelly wasn’t just a superstar; he was a living legend in the city. I remember hearing about the leaked tape while buying bootleg CDs and DVDs like everyone else. I thought it was just another celebrity sex tape. But while watching it, something felt deeply wrong. The woman in the video didn’t look like a woman at all; she looked like a child. And he was urinating on her. This was an obvious case of child exploitation, and everyone in the city was trying to identify her. It was one of the saddest, most disturbing periods I can remember in Chicago. I felt so bad for her and hated R. Kelly after that. For years I thought about that child who I only knew as Jane Doe. Now, Reshona Landfair has released a memoir claiming she is Jane Doe. In this book, she tells her story with honesty and restraint, remaining respectful of other victims’ privacy. The memoir is heartfelt, shocking, and emotionally heavy. Please check your triggers before diving in. I’ve worked crimes against children cases for the past 16 years, and the patterns she describes are painfully familiar. Grooming, manipulation, isolating the child, and gaining the trust of parents. The only difference here is that R. Kelly has a lot of money and influence, which makes everything ten times worse. She comes across as sincere and credible to me. There are several jaw-dropping moments, but the most powerful part for me is hearing a little girl, failed by nearly every adult around her, finally reclaim her voice. That, more than anything, makes this memoir matter. I’m very proud of her and glad she told her story. I recommend the audiobook since she does her own narration. Tiffany D. Jackson’s book “Grown” was based on this story. But instead of rapper Korey Fields and Enchanted, you have the actual story of Robert Kelly and Reshona Landfair.

This is the 6th and last book of the Grant County series. Thoughout this book we find out more about the 3 main characters as they are trying to solve a murder. This whole series has been fast-paced and thrilling with plenty of twists and shocks. Don't let your guard down until the very end! (The first book in this series is called Blindsighted)

A Christmas murder mystery book. Some bits of this book were predictable but it was a quick (less than 300 pages) and enjoyable read. Although I predicted one bit, I wanted to stay with it and see if I was right and find out the rest of the story.
