Houses of Death - Gordon Kerr 2011 ***



It's the middle of May and this is the first book I have read all year which is utterly shameful. I need to get my modjo back for reading, as it seems to slump when I have things on my mind and can't concentrate and I can go for months before I get it back.
Usually when I hit one of these slumps the first thing I reach for is something true crime related, usually because I am continually fascinated with stories like these and also because I can only deal with non-fiction if I am stressed out in other areas of my life.
Not a bad book (got it cheap for my kindle) but I felt the stories were rather rushed, and there wasn't really much here that I didn't already know from more in-depth books.
Good to get me back in the swing of things however, and a 'taster for true crime' for people who don't read this sort of stuff regularly.
