Customer Reviews

Excellent balanced assessment
This is an excellent balanced assessment of the White House Farm Murders which may yet be under further review if and when Jeremy Bamber appeals again. Wilkes clearly and succinctly assesses and accounts for all forensic evidence and witness statements available. Another more recent book does not achieve such balance.

Long term, Wilkes's book should remain a very useful addition to anyone's true crime collection. If, and only if, any further appeal against the original verdict fails, this book deserves to be republished so that a wider audience can appreciate all aspects of a distressing but also fascinating murder case.

DID JEREMY BAMBER MURDER HIS FAMILY?
This is an excellent who-dun-it true life crime mystery. This is an excellent non-biased book about Jeremy Bamber and the murder at White House Farm. Did Jeremy Bamber carry out this awful massacre of his family - although I believe he may well have, am not entirely convinced. If he did, then I feel sure his girlfriend at that time Julie Mugford, knew more than she let on and only went to the police when he dumped her as she did not want to be implicated in any way. Also, if he did commit the crime he would not have been able to say she had known of his plans, otherwise that would have been admitting his guilt. I was very concerned when reading this very intriguing story that the young Caffell children should ever have been allowed to stay in a house where guns were kept loaded or unloaded in shower rooms, kitchen, den, etc., although no comment was ever made in book about this. I found this book almost impossible to put down, extremely well-written and easy and straight-forward to read. Would recommend to all real-life crime readers - best book I've read in years
