Customer Reviews

Riveting, powerful, better than Ann Rule

Blood Justice was riveting, powerful, fascinating. Tom Henderson knows well how to make a complex story flow from beginning to end. Great job! If you like true crime, you'll love Blood Justice.

Very Good

This is one of the best true crime books I've read. Very good research, interesting subject, shocking crimes. I would recommend this book in a heartbeat.

Great book

Gotta say I really enjoyed this book. I'm a truecrimeaholic, and this one kept me glued to the barcolounger in my living room. I couldn't get up and do anything on my "to do" list because I didn't want to put the book down.

Creepy...

I'm not a huge fan of true crime but I was looking for one that my husband wanted to read and saw this on the shelf, so needing something to read, I bought it. It was a gripping, hard to put down read and absolutely terrifying. Jeff Gorton was apparently, just a normal guy living a normal life, who'd even fooled his wife of several years. A loving father, a good friend, a nice looking guy. But the murders he committed were so awfully gruesome. I can't imagine the terror the victims felt when he descended on them. And I have a hard time understanding how, after doing something so awful, this man was able to carry on with his life as if nothing at all had happened. It was just so strange. I've never in my life read such a disturbing story. My heart goes out to both the Eby family and Arthur Ludwig and for all they have endured as a result of this man. If you like reading true crime, this is definitely a must read. But be prepared, it is terribly graphic and gruesome.

A PAGE TURNER

I read the author's first book because we share a home state, last name and first initial. I liked that book, which was a surprise because i didn't read true crime. This latest is a real page turner. I was glad i was on vacation when i read it because i couldn't put it down. it was like watching an impending train wreck -- you know what's coming, you know it's going to be tragic, but you can't take your eyes away.
