5 x 5 star Reviews of Dark Matter

5Excellent

I loved your book-you guys definitely did your research and systematically take the reader though some of the most damning evidence in this case. I was impressed at how you tied it all in with the theme of dark matter- very well done and thought provoking.

No need to apologize for your narrative; yes there are some f bombs but it made me respect you more for being authentic and your sarcasm is justified when it comes to this case. Like you both said it would be funny if it wasn't so tragic. You do a great job calling bulls*** on both murderers using example after example from their own words(in court,interviews,diaries,etc)

I am sure this book has the murderers supporters all in a tizzy- it is easy to spot their attempts to sabotage your deservedly 5 star reviews with their 1 stars. Just look for lots of exclamation points and words in all caps then move right along to the honest reviews that will really help you decide if this book is worth reading- and it certainly is.

Looking forward to your next book and thank you for being the stars that shine light on the truth :)






5Very Objective and Compelling - A Must Read Book On This Case

Another really great book by Lisa Wilson and Nick van der Leek. In this easy to read and compelling book the key events, character aspects of Amanda Knox, Raffaele Sollecito and Rudy Guede and the most significant evidence against them are all objectively weighed and analyzed. Additionally, in a very balanced view, the case for Amanda Knox as promoted by her supporters is also reviewed so readers can make up their own minds. But there is only one conclusion: all three killers murdered Meredith Kercher (RIP). I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to know even more about this case.



5Dark Matter, second resource for curious truth-seekers who prefer to come to their own conclusions re: Meredith's murder.

After more than 7 years of following Meredith Kercher's murder case closely as the saga has wound through the arcane Italian justice system, I am completely convinced that AK & RS are her two other murderers who have ultimately escaped justice. Their final acquittal has not changed anything for me. Yet I've been asked by others who have more than a slight interest as to why is it I'm so certain, what's your 3-minute elevator speech? Well, an elevator speech doesn't exist, but in 'Dark Matter' and its prequel, 'Deceit' and I hope, in more follow-up e-books on this case, a reader can get as close as possible to a comprehensive full-view, what-happened, tell-me-everything explanation without having to slog through over 1,000 pages of trial documents translated from original Italian and endless arguments from two deeply entrenched opposing sides. Trying to read through it all could easily take most of an interested person's discretionary time for a lengthy period of their lives. And who needs that, right?


What's special about 'Dark Matter' is how easy it is to read, how well the authors guide readers through crucial evidence while using a technique borrowed from Socrates -- keep asking yourself common sense questions as you're reading. 'Dark Matter' examines the early case from a big picture view -- the most prominent evidence, the investigation, what happened in days before, and after Meredith's murder, and what was the behavior like of those near Meredith? Then go further, examine what AK & RS wrote in their own books about the murder. Do they agree with each other or give themselves away by not agreeing in crucial areas? 'Dark Matter' creates these scenes while assisting readers in finding their own answers.

'Dark Matter' examines what is important to know, then asks readers to consider: 'does it make sense?' or 'were these actions meant to deceive and lead investigators astray?' 'is there an innocent explanation?' 'does unusual behavior indicate guilt, youthful carelessness, or something else?' 'Dark Matter' lays out salient evidence found during investigations, and continues to encourage readers to question its importance: 'where does this evidence naturally lead?' 'can we tie the evidence and the behavior together to draw conclusions, and how do we do that?'


'Dark Matter' is exactly how I'd want someone to guide me through an enormous case if didn't know much about it. Don't tell me what to think, don't try to persuade me towards your view -- show me what is important to know -- and I'll decide for myself; in this, both authors excel.

One area where I completely disagree with the authors is their, what appears to be, complete acceptance of nonsense created by AK's professional Seattle-based propaganda machine and American author Douglas Preston -- these two parties had their own reasons to intentionally malign and destroy Italian prosecutor Giuliano Mignini. Their agendas were obvious to truth seekers -- one sought to do 'damage control and create a villain to take attention away from AK,' the other, to leverage the murder to create interest in his own book.

Unfortunately this propaganda proved to be extremely effective, and was picked up by most US media outlets that then ran with the deception. Those who know the case from the pro-justice side are keenly aware of how this vicious, deceitful campaign against the prosecutor convinced tens of millions of Americans AK was an innocent who was framed. I hope the authors make an effort to learn how completely they have been deceived and correct these mistakes in future books in this series.

This book is a perceptive analysis of the evidence in the murder case of Meredith Kercher. Nick van der Leek and Lisa Wilson take you through the court documents, statements made by the suspects as well as the DNA evidence among other things, which reveal the many lies and obfuscations by the public relations firm hired by the defendants as well as the ob-knox-ious murder-supporters who attack anyone who writes about the truth of this crime. (Shown by the flock of 1 star comments with long venomous attacks by haters who haven't even read the book.)
Written with the same interesting, insightful, and at times entertaining way van der Leek and Wilson hook the reader in from beginning to end. I couldn't pull myself away from this book that Nick generously gifted to me because this is not about making a profit for them but in getting the truth out there! (In stark contrast to the defendants who made millions selling their version of the crime.) Oh! And this book also shines a light on the way Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito obscure the truth in their own books. That was very interesting as well! I also enjoyed the first book DECEIT and looking forward to the next book! TY

Latest Review of DECEIT



Nick van der Leek has written a stunning exposition of the actions of Amanda Knox, in particular. It is clear the author has researched his material in great depth, from court documents, newspaper reports, court testimony, DNA evidence and motive. However, none of this gets in the way of the flowing narrative.

The book reads like a psychological thriller, with the perpetrators continuously trying to keep six steps ahead of the cops, like a Spaski- Fisher chess game.

It doesn't help that in Italy, court hearings go on for years and does not end until the final Supreme Court seal of approval. In this case, we know the Italian SC - perplexingly to many - acquitted the two remaining accused, Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito.

However, that does not mean we cannot revisit the crime scene and try to reconstruct, from all the facts known, what really happened and to attempt to guess at the motive.

You may or may not agree with Nick van der Leek all of the time, and critical minds should not, as the case is ever-developing; however, the author's insights into what drives Amanda Knox in particular are astute, perspicacious and logical.

I have my own theory as to what happened, but it doesn't really contradict Van der Leek's view point.

This is a marvellous book, well written, exciting and insightful. Just when you thought you knew all there is to know, the author surprises with a fresh nugget of information or observed behaviour. - Christina Giscombe
