How does this book compare to the other books by Roy Hall/Roy Fontaine? Or are they all the same book under different titles? https://www.amazon.com/Roy-Archibald-Hall/e/B0034NFUGEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-22001387379166307622016-08-23T11:08:38.690+01:002016-08-23T11:08:38.690+01:00Oh no, the cover looked so promising!

I presume that there is some good stuff out there, this book not withstanding.<br /><br />The cover does look like parody.

I'm not too keen on these biography style ones myself, but it can be interesting to get an insight into the killer's life and mind. Interesting looking book, but not my kind of thing. Great review though!
