Sleeping with Jane Austen: A Riveting Tale of Obsession and Murder

By David Aitken

Daniel Adamson's extreme fondness for women's ears has led him to commit murder and arson and to consort with prostitutes. As he languishes in a mental hospital, Daniel decides to confess by writing his autobiography. But does he really expect others to believe that he is an innocent victim of society, his upbringing, and his own DNA??"In this funny-serious book David Aitken pokes his finger in the stomach of the traditional crime novel." -- The Sunday Times (London)

Earmarked for enjoyment

What are the limits of your compassion? Listen to an alleged madman who has a penchant for prostitute's ears rave about the culture that locked him up.There can be no doubt that the author has an ear for the nuances of intelligent, colorful conversation. This is a book for the sophisticated reader who isn't frightened of being a fence-sitter in the realm of moral matters! Minus one star for trailing off at the end.
