A House to Remember - 10 Rillington Place (True Crime and Murder Stories Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Edna Gammon (Author), Ray Lipscombe (Illustrator), Chris Newton (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition

What happened at 10 Rilllington Place was so shocking and gruesome that even today everyone over a certain age still remembers the case with a shudder. In 1950, Timothy Evans was hanged for the violent murder of his baby daughter; he was also assumed to have murdered his wife. Then, less than three years later, another tenant, John Christie, was found to have killed at least six women, hiding their bodies in the garden, under floorboards and in a concealed kitchen alcove. Christie followed Evans to the gallows.

It seemed unlikely that two murderers were living at 10 Rillington Place, and the evidence that emerged in the Christie case eventually led to Evans receiving a pardon. But there was also circumstantial evidence that Evans had indeed killed his wife and child.

Crime student Edna Gammon firmly believes that Evans was guilty. In A House To Remember, she explains why.

About the Author

Edna Gammon was born in Liverpool, the youngest of six children of a dock labourer; her father was killed in an accident on the docks in 1930 when she was a little girl. From the age of nine she attended Notre Dame Convent, where the nuns praised her for her English compositions and told her her skill with words would come in useful one day. After taking an office job with Woolworths, Edna worked for many years as a secretary. She and her mother shared a fascination for true crime stories and followed each case with great interest. The two women studied every detail of the 10 Rillington Place murders at the time and kept newspaper cuttings from the period. Her mother's idea of writing a book about the case never saw fruition, but after her death Edna decided to write her own book on the subject, in her mother's memory. She says her mother was always in her thoughts while she was working on the book.

3.0 out of 5 stars A House to Remember: 10 Rillington Place
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2013
I was a little disappointed reading this book. For a start it is quite short and does not by any means give a full account of the Christie/Evans murders. It also puts forward a theory without very much supporting evidence that Evans was guilty and maybe should not have received a posthumous pardon.

I gather that the police investigation was not terribly well done - especially as they did not search the property at all thoroughly after Evans' wife and child were murdered otherwise they would have found the bodies which Christie had previously buried. Instead it was treated almost as an open and shut domestic murder and very little investigation was carried out at al. As a result Christie was left free to murder three more times.

As an introduction to the Christie case this is probably acceptable but I shall be looking out for a more comprehensive account of the cases.

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2012
The author fails to convince the reader that Timothy Evans killed his wife and daughter !.The author uses much of the transcript of the trials but adds nothing new to back up her claims that she " thinks " Timothy Evans did kill his wife and daughter. You may find other books on this case much more interesting ?.

Having heard stories from my mum who lived bet close to the house I have always been fascinated with it. My mum and a friend went to see it but got half way down the street and ran because they were too scared to go any further. A really good read....

4.0 out of 5 stars A different take on Rillington Place
Reviewed in Canada on June 23, 2014
Verified Purchase
As a bit of a Rillington Place geek who has read up on it a fair bit, including Ludovic Kennedy's "10 Rillington Place", I found Edna Gammon's book an interesting perspective on Reg Christie and Tim Evans. Gammon believes that while Christie was indeed a serial killer, Evans was an angry, abusive man who had both motive and means to murder his wife and daughter. I found Gammon's arguments a bit wobbly and somewhat subjective in spots; however, I liked hearing her opinion, and I also liked the fact that the book offered some interesting tidbits and photos I hadn't heard about or seen before. Overall, if you're interested in the Rillington Place murders, this is a nice, easy read that you'll probably enjoy.

I gave the book four stars because the author gives a fairly good exposition of the events that took place at 10 Rillington Place.

For example,the statements of Evans and Christie are given - albeit abbreviated.

In her view Evan's innocence is questionable.

Although, she ends by saying what we all concede,or should do, that we shall never know what did happen in the house to the full extent.
