TILL MURDER DO US PART: REVIEW

Read the book (and perhaps make a note to read the other books in this series) to discover the details behind these two haunting and disturbing cases. (Review by Christine E Hann)

Till Murder Do Us Part is the 6th book in the True Crimes series. To quote the author, “Above all else, I’m a storyteller and I am most often inspired by real life. The crimes in this book are 100% real. As terrifying as they are on the page, as shocking as it is to watch them come to life in the television-series, there’s something to remember: the bad guy always gets caught.”

The book is made up of two crimes: Till Murder do us Part and Ramp up to Murder. Both cases are equally gripping and shocking, and of course they are true. Life lessons are in the details if you are looking.

Till Murder do us Part takes us on the journey of a woman, who cannot believe she has found and married such a good, wonderful man. More than a decade of happy married life passes, and then she slowly begins to suspect that things may not be as they seem, she becomes driven to find the truth, which launches her into a lifetime of fear and hiding.

Ramp up to Murder is equally unexpected. A chance meeting by two beautiful blonde teenage friends, and a young, up and coming professional skateboarder at a party, leads to a partnership that seems destined to excel, for one as a model, and the other as a skateboarder, with all the sponsorships and deals that are linked to their fame. That is until one of their fortune’s changes, and the love nest unravels, with deadly and unexpected consequences. We follow the anguish of the affected families and friends, and the impacts the consequences have on all their lives, and that of the perpetrator as well.

Read the book (and perhaps make a note to read the other books in this series) to discover the details behind these two haunting and disturbing cases.

James Patterson is an American author and philanthropist. He is a prolific writer, whose books have been made into films and television series. To quote his official webpage: “Patterson’s writing career is characterised by a single mission, to prove that there is no such thing as a person who “doesn’t like to read,” only people who haven’t found the right book.” The National Book Foundation recently presented Patterson with the Literarian Award for Outstanding Service to the American Literary Community. He is also the recipient of an Edgar Award and six Emmy Awards. He lives in Florida with his family.
