    I'm reading Amy Amy Amy: The Amy Winehouse Story by Nick Johnstone! A very interesting read, gives a lot of background to Amy, including her musical roots and inspirations etc. Anyone who things of her as that "dirty druggy drunk" should read this book, and get their facts straight.

    I'm reading Skin Privilege by Karin Slaughter. I've read all but one of her books and they're excellent but I can't seem to get into this one.
    Thanks CrazyLea

    The Jigsaw Man - Paul Britton
    He is a clinical/forensic psychologist who has helped the police with a number of cases, although quite in depth and detailed in places and quite hard to read (The Jamie Bulger chapter for instance) but it is very interesting how the police and psychologists go about different cases.
    Wouldn't recommend unless interested in psychology and stuff, isn't an 'easy' book.

    Hidden By Cathy Glass..... How one boy overcame the odds. As soon as Tayo was brought into cathys home for placement, she was puzzled. The social worker had no records for Tayo no school files,family history or medical records. It was as if he didnt exist.

    I'm reading "Plea of Insanity" by Jilliane Hoffman at the moment. First book I've read in ages! It's really good so far.
    "Julia Valenciano is a young, ambitious prosecutor facing a case that could launch her career. The defendant David Marquette is a successful Miami surgeon and devoted family man. The victims are Marquette's own wife and three small children. The plea is not guilty by reason of insanity. The perfect father and model husband, David Marquette seemingly just snapped. His experienced defence team claims paranoid delusions caused by schizophrenia drove him to slaughter his entire family. But the state suspects Marquette's insanity defence is being fabricated to disguise murders that were cold-blooded and calculated. Worse, Julia believes Marquette could be responsible for a string of unsolved, brutal homicides. The distraught survivor could just be one of the most prolific and elusive serial killers in the country's history. To bring him to justice, Julia must embark on a terrifying personal journey back into her own past - something she has struggled for fifteen years to forget. And this will lead her to confront a future so chilling, she's not sure she will ever be able to face it..."

    I read that a couple of years ago. I don't think its all its cracked up to be. I got pretty bored with it.

    Getting into Skin Privilege now, some interesting twists have occurred.
    Thanks CrazyLea
