Daddy Was The Black Dahlia Killer

Cierra G. Rowe June 22, 2018 This morning after sexually assaulting a hot mug of coffee and brutalizing a Dunkin' Donut I turned to my husband and said: ''Honey, I think I'm going to review that completely believable Janice Knowlton book today.'' To which he replied, while watering our plants: ''Hey babe you look hot and that's a great idea! Didn't you say that she committed suicide in 2004?'' Me: 'Yes this is correct. You're such a lovely gardener. Remember to water our freesias...'' >>>A perfect example of an embellished fabrication, much like this book.<<< Rarely am I ever left speechless after reading a book. Without exaggeration, this book and all of its heinous nightmares should have been bound by a straight jacket. Admittedly I am no stranger to the bizarre case of Elizabeth Short. Her name is familiar to many and echoes a strange song of doomed beauty, mystery and merciless slaughte

EYES WIDE SHUT

Cierra G. Rowe June 16, 2018 Well well. Isn't this a hot little '90s number. Nothing like raunchy nights of the elite to kick off a movie date, accompanied by Orville Redenbacher and Nicole Kidman's nipples.  You could say that Eyes Wide Shut is a cinematic cup of coffee donning a sexy off shoulder gown, with an animal printed g-string underneath. You could say that its characters sway under the lurid lights in houses of facades wrapped tightly in a society of esteemed vulgarities. It seems that the masks are present even before you tell the servants ''Fidelio''. While Alice waltzes around with an impeccably dressed creepazoid, giving him good looks that are sure to assist him in opening at least one of his eyes... While Dr. Bill is eyed like a juicy steak by young models, all over him like lanugo hair... and while they both engage in flirtatious, possibly encouraging behaviors during this dreamy, delectable party..... I observe

IF I DID IT - Confessions of the Killer (SPOILERS)

Cierra G. Rowe June 16, 2018 Orenthal James Simpson: A name sure to garnish frowns, insults and possibly shudders. Is this man a killer? Did this man have a hand in his wife and Ron Goldman's murders? I have no fucking idea but this book does a terrific job of convincing me of as much. I've perused the spectrum of conspiracies, from Jason Simpson, the raging knife wielding maniac to Glen Edward Rogers, the peculiar serial killer. The various theories are engrossing but leave more questions than answers.  The proof is in the pudding, so to speak. What sets this book aside from any number of theories regarding the crime is that the accused (OJ) puts himself (and ''Charlie'') at the site of the murder, covered in blood while holding the knife. In this book OJ speaks to us directly and through his words, he sets the scene.  -------------SPOILERS AHEAD------------- THE SCENE: Beginning at p.123 - An unfamiliar car parks a short way across t

DIANA : Her True Story - In Her Own Words

Cierra G. Rowe June 14, 2018 I was quite excited to receive this particular book in the mail. As is the case with many of my books, I ordered it on impulse. Surprisingly, I had never heard of this title but once I laid eyes on it and skimmed through the brief summary, I knew that I had to have it. The binding was chic and simple, the title was intriguing and there were just enough pages to make me want to cop a feel. I was anxious to read all of the juicy details of Princess Diana's rousing life: her struggles, her experiences but above all, I was eager to read the truth. With a chilly glass of wine in one hand and Her True Story in the other, I began my trek through Diana's hectic world. As I read and sipped and read I became nauseated, not from the wine, the wine was delicious, but from the sheer amount of narcissism and slant heavily sprinkled throughout this turbulent diary of sorts. I was not prepared for how tedious and disappointing this book revealed itself
