As someone who loves true crime books and dramas, I was really looking forward to this book. I found it to be well researched, almost to its detriment, and chocked full of information. I feel though that there was too much detail, and not written in a logical order, so that at times it became hard to follow and remember who the various names belonged to. This book will likely be turned into a tv drama or documentary, which I feel it would make a great basis for, but as a book, it just wasn’t written in a way that made it easy for the reader to follow and maintain interest in

10 Rillington Place is the story of Reg Christie and how he almost got away with murder.

Reg was a odd character, he had a knack of decieving people and making people think he was better than he actually was.

He carried out abortions on his kitchen table, abortion was illegal at that time but he had grand ideas of being a doctor.

This is a well told account of Christie. Even though i know the story i was still intrigued by the facts and I enjoyed my reading time

Possible spoilers

Christie was the first serial killer I was aware of, having watched the Attenborough film at a too young age.
I've read a few books over the years, but nothing as in depth researched as this one, giving not just the facts of the crimes, but of the feeling of the nation as a whole.
You get a real feeling for the neighbourhood, and for Christie himself I believe.

It's fascinating the way the Evans case was portrayed, and how some evidence not used....
I was left at the end with more questions than I went in with.
