Have just about finished Bind Torture Kill by Roy Wenzl,Tin Potter,L Kelly and Hurst Laviana good read.

A book i finished just recently The Devils Garden=Claremont serial killings by Debi Marshall also a good read considering a lot of information was unavaliable due to police insistance.

I read this book too, and thought it was really well written - have any of you read the book obsession written by one of the FBI profilers , he profiled this killer before he had been caught and just after the first killings - it wasn't that great of a profile to be honest

I had never heard of the author Debi Marshall,i thought it was a good read infact i'd scout out more of her books if any are avaliable.
The one book i do want is on the Anita Coby murder one of the most brutal murders in Australia since the Wanda beach Murders another book i also want to purchase.

The BTK-book in question is probably the best true-crime book I've ever read. In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote, is hailed as one of the best in its genre and I think Wenzl, Potter, Kelly & Laviana has come close, if not all the way, to it with their book.

What really does it for me is their story telling. Can't ask for more. Not that I haven't read Beatties book. It was probably because of Beattie that the 30 year anniversary of the Otero murders was written up by the Wichita Eagle, thus prompting the perpetrator to resume to send out his taunting messages.

The other book, Unholy Messenger, wasn't as good as the title promised. It's puzzling to me why John Douglas writes about BTK in the book Obsession, from 1998, altering the names, when he'd already mentioned the case however briefly, names unaltered, in the earlier book Mindhunter, from 1995.
