The Shallow Grave and other true crime stories
Author Chip
Michie
From the
case files of Christian Botha, South Africa's foremost private investigator.
I love
reading suspense and thrillers so when I do visit the library I try to find books
on suspense and thrillers and sometimes research books to. I found this book a very interesting
read. It is all about seven cases in
South Africa that the police could not solve.
He is a brilliant investigator.
The book is in English and makes for easy reading and no bordom while
reading. From the first story to the
last makes for interesting reading.
I found the
first story of the book the best of them all not that the others were not good
reading. What I liked about the book is
that it handles about true stories not made up ones and the way that Christian Botha goes to work in finding out all that he needs to be able to solve the case
You as a
reader is taken step by step through each fascinating chapter, from the body
buried in the back garden of a Johannesburg home, to a man's unexplained
drowning. This book is gripping and very
entertaining. I recommend this book if
you like suspense and murder cases. The book has photographed pictures off cases he had worked on.
