In one book we read: 'The shirts she had ironed for him earlier that day were gone, so was her cat, so was [he]. ...She put on a record...' This array of domestic detail can only be fiction, but there is no sense that the author grasped the distinction between that and something else, in his effort to tell a lurid story that would sell a lot of books. The title of this volume, can not be important.

January 27, 1937
David Yallop (January 27, 1937 to August 23, 2018) was a British writer. His NYT obit described him as "an investigative journalist who wrote popular books about true crime and conspiracy, including a best seller asserting that Pope John Paul I was murdered as part of a Vatican plot..." An Amazon review says 'He has overturned opinion with every book he has written, continuously uncovering injustice and truth in his research into the Derek Bentley case, [and] Carlos the Jackal..'
