I
highly recommend DECEIT to anyone interested in the Meredith Kercher
murder case. Nick van der Leek shines a new light on the events as they
transpired which brings the reader into the crime. DECEIT brings all of
the many details into a coherent flow that is easy to follow. Whether
you are new to this case of have been following it for years, DECEIT
should be on your reading list. - LH
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I cannot wait for the next one. There had to be more to this murder... and now I am sure there was more than one person involved. I just love the narrative that makes Nick's books so enjoyable.- Lorna Kavanagh
Thank you very much for your book Deceit Nick.
The truth is shining through while reading it. [DECEIT] gives hope and motivation to spread the word of this heavy miscarriage of justice the Kercher family has to suffer.

Your scenario is highly plausible.The circumstantial
evidence in this case is overwhelming. Injustice was made acquitting the
two defendants.
Keep the great work going!I am looking forward to further psychological analyses - reviewer refers to herself as 'Just So'
I enjoyed #Deceit because it was a comparison between fact and Amanda Knox's version of events, that will lead readers to one conclusion. She was involved in the Murder of the beautiful accomplished young woman she shared a house with. It was probably jealousy because Meredith was truly loved and had many friends, while Amanda had none.
Interesting to read how Amanda put herself at
the murder scene at least two times before police discovered the body
of Meredith, lied to police, blamed an innocent black man, changed her
story several times, and said she heard the screams of her housemate,
yet failed to call for help.
Nick van der Leek [gives] a fresh
perspective in his well researched study of the murder, [a study] that the
majority of people are convinced Amanda Knox got away with.- IPSOS MAATI
Just finished Deceit and I really enjoyed it. All I knew about this case is what was on the news or a few documentaries that I had watched and to be honest the way it was portrayed I felt so sorry for Amanda Knoxs and her boyfriend at the time. Innocent people I thought, caught up in a murder that the Italians wanted solved quickly and Amanda etc were the scapegoats. But after reading Nick's book which give you the real facts of this case I have real DOUBT of their innocence. Amanda and her ex are not the people the media lead us to believe they are. I highly recommend this to anyone who like me was naive to the real story and the people involved. - Susan Mcbrierty
I'm very impressed with DECEIT. The format is readable and succeeds in immediately drawing in the reader. It drew me in and I've been reading and writing about this case for a long while. The book is powerful and its debut at this time is deeply offensive to the fascist cult of Amanda Knox. Free speech is for them alone. I'm happy to join my voice to all the other voices for justice for Meredith Kercher and her family. - Cali
I loved your book. Lots of passion. Perspicacious, revealing, powerful.
I didn't like the f- word... The extra large fonts seem indulgent.
I don't believe Meredith was killed because of mess or a rent money row, although these are escalating factors that gave A a pretext for violence and rage.
I believe it was premeditated. Don't rule it out. I can give you my theory if you like.
I very much look forward to Dark Matter. - Kris
"Your book is thoroughly researched and analyzed. You have a unique perspective from your personal experience with drug addicts. Your analysis of the evidence, facts and events surrounding this case is superb!
I've followed this case for years and read most of the books out there from both sides.
Sometimes a fresh viewpoint reveals things I hadn't considered or overlooked.
I would recommend this book for anyone interested in understanding the murder of Meredith Kercher.
I'm left wanting more. I look forward to Dark Matter." - LH
For seven years, I’ve been baffled about
this murder. Running in circles with
the rest of the world; trying to understand what’s real and what’s
fabricated. It wasn’t until I read Nick
van der Leek’s book that I saw a far more sinister side to this case than I
ever imagined. True to the author’s
style of investigation, he leaves no stone unturned and nobody immune from
scrutiny. You’ll walk away with a motive
and reconstruction that will chill you to the bone, and is highly plausible.
It’s easy to get wrapped up in the
assertion that this is a case of a foreigner falsely confessing under
duress. Nobody wants to believe a young
woman can suddenly commit murder. But
sadly, how many times have we been here before?
Sometimes motives are buried deep under the mire and it takes
considerable digging to bring them to the surface. And that’s what’s been done here in this
book. One very troubling fact in this
case that can’t be explained away by Knox, no matter how hard she tries, is
that she pinned the crime on an innocent man and let him sit in jail for two
weeks. Have you ever honestly asked
yourself under what conditions you would do the same? I think most people would
answer - I'd never do that. So why did
she?
For
as widely publicized as this case has been, I couldn’t believe how much I
learned from Doubt. You’ll be guided on
a tour of the villa on the hill, and provided some fascinating insight into the
roommates and their lifestyles. You’ll
learn more about Perugia and the hot spots they hung out at. There are also some jaw-dropping details that
are shared about drug use. By the time
the author brings you to the week before the murder, you’ll feel like you’re
standing right there on the plaza in Perugia, watching it unfold. It’s a powerful and engaging way to tell this
story, especially since links are provided to all your resources. Everything from pictures to articles and
videos – the author has given you links to everything you need.
I will admit, I still have a few more
lingering questions about the evidence in this case. Believing somebody is guilty and proving it
are two different things - obviously, considering the outcome of this
case. But I feel like I’m a heck of a
lot closer to understanding now, and the author has two more books coming out
about this case. I will be the first
person in line to read them! - LW
