Having read other titles by the author in the past, I knew what I was getting from this story.
What I didn’t expect were my emotions while reading it. Its a long story and the main topic made me stop a few times and give myself time to think and breath because I still can’t believe that this is based on a true crime real life story.
I haven’t read many true crime books in my life because I always preferred fiction more than anything but every now and then, there will be a story that will grab my attention more than I can imagine and that’s what happened with this one.
Starvation heights is a story about greediness, gore practice and how easy people will fall for someone else’s lies and preaches.
I can’t believe that two well known sisters from the UK have gone so many miles away just to find themselves trapped inside a horrible place. I don’t understand how the locals just got along with it all after seeing so many bodies being burned or buried and haven’t raise any questions.
What I did want to know more was about how so called Dr Linda Burfield Hazzard ( see the name ? smart move imo ) got to get away with murder for so long and how she becomes that person. Her past and what triggered her to do those things aren’t very clear in the book so I’m assuming that’s for me to look it up.
It took me a few weeks to finish it but I don’t regret anything. It was interesting and twisted, it was great to build up to that finale and i would definitely recommend it to any true crime lovers.

Very grateful to the publisher @ for my review copy
