Mary Bell - True Crime BooksMy sister is into reading these kind of criminal books & read a book about the killer Mary Bell in a book a few months ago, i have googled it and there are quite a few options but i just wondered if anybody had read any of these books and could recomend which to buy?Rather sinister choice of books to choose but she is a social worker so i guess it interests her!! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cries-Unheard-Story-Mary-Bell/dp/0333753119 |

My mam and her family grew up very close to where Mary Bell comitted the murders, still a huge story up here. I remember my cousin telling me once that if I was naughty Mary Bell would come for me (nice cousin eh?).
If you do buy a book about her, please don't get one that she makes any profit from- I'm not saying don't read one,coz it is a fascinating story, but she makes money from the book she was involved in and I think that is wrong. Sorry, I will get down from my soapbox now

No i couldn't agree more, thats why im not sure which to get for my sister. I defnatly wouldn't - she doesnt deserve to make money from her discipable crimes. Dont worry magpie! |

It really annoys me when people like Jeffrey Archer makes money from breaking the law.
Also those football thuggery books - Cass Pennant and so on, who spent years beatring people up and then make money by writing books about it. There should be a law! |
