The Man In Black would be an excellent addition to any true crime fan's bookshelf- an utterly compelling story from the point of view of the man who defended Peter Moore – Moore often referred to as Wales' worse serial killer... Overall a fascinating read that is as compelling as any fictional character drama and as much of a page turner as any mystery. The mystery here is in human nature with all its variables, it was intriguing from first page to last.Recommended.

Dylan Rhys Jones has certainly written an honest, engaging and darkly lingering account of a man's crimes and their consequences, and this a man now properly behind bars for the rest of his empty days.

This is a thoughtful book, an earnest and cathartic work. For anyone interested in the crimes of Peter Moore and the real process of justice that follows the case of a murderer this account is for you.

The truth is most certainly stranger than fiction.This is a riveting book. Jones writes with an honestly that is admirable. He details how the case affected him and how his own behaviour changed afterwards. He acknowledged that Moore had left a lasting impact on him, and he sought help for that. It's also a detailed and fascinating insight into the workings of the criminal justice system, and whilst there's a lot of legal detail, it is never boring or dry.I really enjoyed this excellently written book and would recommend it to both fans of true crime, and crime fiction.

If you're looking for an honest, unique view into the inner life of a criminal lawyer, you should give The Man in Black a try.

The first thing I should say about this terrific memoir is that it is not a book about a serial killer, and that's one of its strongest features.

Fascinating insight into a serial killer which I'm finding darkly compelling.
