This was a really great book

I really enjoyed this book. I have read all of John Glatts book and he is one of my favorite authors. This book does not dissapoint!

Short and to the point snippets into murder.

John Glatt has written an excellent account of murder performed by eleven men and one woman with religion being focal to the crime. The snippets are easily read in one sitting. After reading one, you're compelled to keep reading to see what intrigue the next case will included. The best story centers around the death of Marvin Gaye. It's the last story and the most interesting.

True Stories of Clergy Who Kill

At a time in history when we think we have heard the lowest of the low when it comes to our spiritual leaders, this book just fell into my lap. And what a book it is! Not all Catholic priests; but all spiritual leaders, it is tragic how human so many of them are -- and how easily we give them the power to judge our human frailties. How easily their victims trusted them! How tempting it is to take advantage of, and betray that trust.Perhaps it is we who are to blame for giving any one human being the power of God in our lives. If anything will make you rethink that paradigm, this book will.

Eleven horrible stories

The victims range from a 22-year-old woman to a couple in their 90s. In one story the murder weapon was found next to the Bible and in another the murderer later delivered the victims graveside eulogy.Mr John Glatt has done an excellent job with "For I have sinned". He pays attention to many details and he writes in an easy-to-read manner. It is one of those books that is extremely hard to put down. If you think you know your priest, then read this book.
