Summary Disordered Minds

Disordered Minds Free download ☆ 2 When a local councillor and an anthropologist re investigate the controversial murde. Recommended for 18 Strong themes including sexual abuse suicide and murderI am really enjoying Minette Walters novels they all seem to have one thing in common the strong taboo topics people dont like talking about even today and the differences in lifepeopleattitudes etc between the 70 s 80 s 90s to nowWalters knows how to deliver a story with a slow progression uphill slowly attracting the reader deeper and deeper until they want exactly what the MC wants justicevengeance or revenge for whatever crime or injustice has been committedAlthough the start might not pull you in immediately you will get hooked as the story unravels as do the secrets and lies told leading to a outstanding ending leaving the reader like WOW In 1970 Howard Stump a mentally ill young man was convicted of the brutal murder of his elderly grandmother in her home on little to no evidence 3 years later he is dead committing suicide due to self hatred and constant bullying whilst in prison Case Closed He did it Or so everyone thoughtNearly 30 years later Anthropologist and author Jonathan Hughes re examines the case whilst writing a book on injustice and comes to the conclusion that the evidence against Stump was merely circumstantial and coerced therefore he was wrongly convicted With his book getting the attention of many including a young woman by the name of George Gardener the battle is on to prove Stump s innocence going back on a case than 25 years old with most records being destroyed lies being told about a young man who was disabled and many still believing he is guilty this case will be difficultA gang rape a missing girl sexual abuse a murder but what do they all have in common and how are they all connected to the conviction of Stump s conviction and the murder of his grandmotherWhere do i begin The characters in this novel are complex not only in their personal life but the image they portray to others Racism is a topic that is mentioned uite alot as the main character Jonathan Hughes is a black man living in the world post 911 he is constantly uestioned detained and belittled by police officers and customs officers Making him an angry educated man trying to fight injustice when he feels injustice himself for being the skin colour he is By wearing expensive suits and living out of his means he tries to portray an imagine of wealth and knowledge trying to separate himself from the stereotype people believe him to be The topic of gang rape and sexual abuse is also present in this novel as well as the stereotype that if a girl is dressed revealingly she deserves the rape and should remain silent as she will be likely accused of provoking the abuse leading to gossip hatred and her life turning upside down for simply being a victim of such a crime BULLSHIT Walters doesn t do this in a negativebiased way she is only representing how the times wereand sometimes still are to this day I believe the deeper you look you can see that she is really trying to bring discussion to the subject and that rather than keeping uiet stepping forward about such crimes can change how a person dealsovercomes how it can affect their adult life how people react to the victims and that justice can be served to those guilty of committing such disgusting acts of inhumanity I wish we lived in a world where victims weren t belittled and told they are provoking their attackers i dont believe anything excuses any sort of abuse at all people who do abuse should be held accountable for their actions and their life be turned to shit because the victim will never feel whole again and no one should be able to take that away from someoneIn all this was a thought provoking book that had me at the edge of my seat wanting to know what really happened and who is really to blame It touches on alot of social problems from the 70 s and even today that haven t been properly addressed as well as they should of I will be continuing with Minette Walters novels and her amazing ability to build a story im not only fascinated in but touches on issues from different eras too Well done Walters great story telling Recommended for Thriller Suspense Fiction

Disordered Minds Free download ☆ 2 R conviction of a mentally retarded 20 year old they're unprepared for the disturbin. 25 stars rounded up to 3Well Der Aussenseiter is definitely difficult to rate I liked the general topic of the book a journalist and a city councilior are working together in order to proove that a severe judicial error has been made in the case of Howard Stamp a young man who has been convicted for murdering his grandmother I also enjoyed the different perspectives the author has been offering during the investigations and I liked the newspaper articles the emails and the protocols that have been illustrating different parts of the story Unfortunately the pace of the story has been a major problem for me I had the feeling that we didn t move on for a very long time and that the last part of the book has been rushed too much I have a few unanswered uestions and I am not feeling entirely satisfied I am however going to try another book by Minette Walters in order to get a better feeling for her stories A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court very long time and that the last part of the book has been rushed too much I have a few unanswered uestions and I am not feeling entirely satisfied I am however going to try another book by Minette Walters in order to get a better feeling for her stories

Disordered Minds Free download ☆ 2 G facts that come to light and the personal demons with which they must come to term. I appreciate the message Walters was trying to deliver I do what she was saying here is terribly important She did manage to say what she wanted to albeit incoherently it became a bit garbled as it came out I read on and the writing style the entire plot became exceedingly contrived I think this is her most jumbled novel Look it happens sometimes writers get burn out all the time some even write I remember Joe Abercrombie saying he was burned out during the making of Red Country and it showed It was still excellent though I did enjoy it Shy was kickass I think he featured her again in a compilation edited by George RR Martin
