House of Secrets
House of Secrets | Lowell Cauffiel
5 posts | 8 read | 5 to read
"Horrific, totally engrossing. . . A compelling look at insane brilliance." --Ann Rule A psychopathic mastermind whose reign of terror had no limits--even murder. . . For years, Eddie Lee Sexton ruled his family with perverse domination. He enforced every cruelty imaginable, from vicious beatings to raping his daughters and fathering their children. Yet the sadistic father nearly escaped death row on a legal technicality. Lowell Cauffiel's unsparing non-fiction thriller reveals a house of horrors Eddie Lee Sexton thought no one would ever see. Now updated, it shows how Sexton's sick genius ultimately dodged justice, and investigates the tragic aftermath of his victimized family. "An odyssey into American pathology. Deeply disturbing." --Detroit Free Press "A balanced and grimly engaging true-crime account." --Publishers Weekly "Cauffiel knows how to dramatize true crime." --Elmore Leonard Warning! Contains 16 pages of graphic photos.

1. Probably true crime - tagged book was the first true crime I read and it was a horrid story.

2. Maybe Hex - that old lady kept popping up everywhere

Currently I‘m reading The Other Mrs. as part of my #crimeaday. I hope to finish it tomorrow.

House of Secrets (true crime) - good but hard read
Robert Langdon Series - good series
I‘ll Be Gone in the Dark (true crime) - very good
In The Woods - decent book one
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil - loved it
Flavia de Luce - cute crime series featuring Flavia

My hometown murder, in Jackson Township, Ohio; this book is an account of the horrors that took place in the Sexton household, just down the street from me. Sexual abuse, fetal sacrifices, and other weird cult shit is not for the faint of heart but perfect for a #murderino #myfavoritemurder #ssdgm Eddie Lee Sexton will haunt your dreams.

Kaye Welcome to the gang. There are some other true crime fans sprinkled throughout the group 👍 6y

This one horrified and sickened me, but being a seasoned TC reader, I got through it. Your opinion if you've read it....
