Although I will say if there was ever a perfect use for the kindle X-ray function, then true crime books with their mixed myriad of ‘cast members’ is most certainly it.I’m not sure if it’s because I’m getting a little older, as this crime was no worse than many others I’ve read, (and that’s not to say it wasn’t violent !) but I did find that the utter heartlessness these 2 meted out on poor Jacine really turned my stomach. However the way the defense lawyers acted (and a judge) made sure anything that wasn’t already turned was rolled over into all the rest.The problem with crime I’m coming to believe is not the crime & the criminals, it’s the court and legal system that have become a show, a great big spectacle, and during the show the lies run amok, the jurors who are supposed to be able to give a rightful verdict have 95% of the facts withheld as it may penalize the defendant/s.It’s just a sad disgrace of a legal system. Sorry if I ranted, but I was reading this book and listening to the Serial podcast at the same time which made me realize that it’s not just 1 side or the other, both sides play dirty.So yes the books great, it’s pulled at my heart, it’s made me angry, it’s driven me to tears, it’s made me think about our laws and our courts. And if I could change one solitary thing, it would be this, for every trial where there is a victim who cannot be at court, for any reason, then a nice big color photo of them is put where everyone can see them, from the beginning of the trial until the very end, day on, day out, after all it is all about them, not the defendants, jurors need to be reminded of that every time they take their seats. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I write true crime because I like reading true crime *by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2017* Fair disclosure, the author is also one of my publishers. I paid for my copy of my book and no influence was applied for my review. WildBlue Press has been exploding as of late, releasing four or five true crime books in the last three weeks alone. I encourage you to go to their website and follow them on Facebook. They often offer books at discounts upon their release.If reading true crime is a guilty pleasure than I plead such your honor. I write true crime because I like reading true crime. I like the gambit of topics too. This book caught my attention because Jackson wrote it and I liked his book Bogeyman.Jackson has peeled a page from Truman Capote in setting up this book’s flow. Most true crime stories are formulaic. There’s a brutal crime (or the body is found), then there is the background of the victim, the investigation, the arrest and profile of the killer, and justice is served. Some true crime books are like watching the Dukes of Hazzard that way. You know that at least one commercial break will be the General Lee mid-jump. The pattern is so embedded in most true crime books they can have a cookie cutter feeling.Steve Jackson tossed out that formula, much like Capote did with In Cold Blood. Instead Jackson takes us on a journey, starting with a pair of killers. One dominant and demented, the other just bizarre. They live in a world right next to our own, a dark one filled with blackened minds and souls. Whenever our world of light and theirs of the darkness touch, death often follows.Much like In Cold Blood, these men alone would not have been a risk to society. Together though, they became a single killer. The reader is drawn into their dark and depraved world twisted around the movie A Clockwork Orange. The way the killers play off of each other, feed each other’s strange fantasies, takes a long hard left down Highway Crazy. In doing so, Jackson builds a tension. You know a crime is coming…it is only a matter of time.When it does happen you are stunned as a reader by the quick resolution about 48% of the way through the book. How can that be? Where is the dogged investigation, the pursuit of leads and misdeeds? As an author I found myself wondering, “where is the author going to go from here?”Jackson subtly and slyly turns the case and his narrative on its edge. This is about the victim’s family and the gnarled and contentious death penalty. The trial is something that leaves even the most ardent law-lover hating the defense lawyers in this case.I refuse to ruin the book for you the reader. To do so would be a crime in and of itself. This is a wonderful and dark summer read not for the light of heart. It is a journey into the minds of two men who together become one killer. It is an unpaved roadway through the legal system and what the survivors of such crimes are forced to endure. A solid five out of five stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chilling realization...this could happen to anyone. *by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2017* I read many genre including true crime and this book literally gave me chills. This could happen to anyone. This young girl girl was loved and cherished by her family and friends. She was intelligent, kind, pretty and was doing absolutely nothing wrong when she was abducted. This is every parents worst nightmare. Grab a tissue because this chilling book will bring tears. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/43633459-a-clockwork-murder-the-night-a-twisted-fantasy-became-demented](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/43633459-a-clockwork-murder-the-night-a-twisted-fantasy-became-demented) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
