.Gangs of Britain: The Gripping True Stories of the Faces Who Run Britain's Organised Crime

by: Wensley Clarkson

March 03, 2008
Really badly written - The authors attempts to "talk street" are just silly. Full of clichés and unnecessary glorification. His sycophantic approach to the murderer Ken Noye would be almost laughable if the subject matter was not so serious.
There are much better crime books out there.

.Slave Girls

by: Wensley Clarkson

1996-08
I was very disappointed with this book. I didn't like the way it was written. There was no depth to any of the stories, the details in the book could easily have been picked up from media reports of the crimes. A little more detail and a lot more research could have improved this book. It stumbled on from one story to the next. In all the book was a real letdown.

.Kenny Noye: Public Enemy No 1 (Blake's True Crime Library)

by: Wensley Clarkson

February 01, 2006
The book was good, well researched. Kenny noye the story should be made into a film. As much as he was evil, he was also one of the cleverest, respected criminals there has been, especially when it came to making money. But main question, why on earth did he murder Stephen Cameron ? what did it achieve? here was a man who was rich, repected, women adored him, decent family and killed a guy over a stupid argument after being cut up on the road! Then gets life in prison for his troubles.

.Bindon: Fighter, Gangster, Actor, Lover - the True Story of John Bindon, a Modern Legend

by: John Bindon, Wensley Clarkson

June 30, 2005
The title of this book says it all. This is a fantastic book by Wensley Clarkson about a truly amazing character.
Bindon is just like a real-life Terry McCann from TVs Minder who needed an Arthur Daley character to look out for him
The best book I have read since `Till Death Us Do Part` by Garry Jackson and on a par with `The Puink Poet` by Garry Johnson.
This book would make a fantastic film with say Ray Winstone cast as the loveable rogue.

.Mother Dearest

by: Wensley Clarkson

March 15, 2007
Theresa Knorr (the mother) was obviously a very wicked woman but what came over most in this book is that she was a person of very limited intelligence who essentially murdered two of her daughters (with the collaboration of her offspring in disposing of the bodies). This book was written by a journalist and is therefore written as an account of what was reported rather than someone's memoirs.
