Some who killed the wife some who did not. A good read that will keep you on the edge of your seat to see what happens next! Completely biased but still interesting. I'm really not a fan of Bailey's whining about how men are always considered the suspect, particularly when they are close to the victim. Most victims of violent crime know their attacker, not only that, but the VAST majority of violent offenders are men. Not that it excuses shoddy investigative techniques, but really, investigating the spouse is the most useful track. Also I hate the fact that Bailey defines "uxoricide" as the killing of one's spouse. Uxoricide comes from the Latin, uxor, which means wife. Technically this would only refer to wife-murder. Although this might be just a legalese mistake and not a mistake of Bailey's. Addmittedly, it's also nitpicky. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
