A Cruel Deception
'No one knows this horrifying true crime case better than the detective who cracked it. Kim Booth will take you on an unforgettable journey into lies, deceit, cunning and malice.' Nick Louth After a chance encounter with con-woman Barbara Hendry, an innocent and trusting couple known as Joan and Ted Warner were left devastated after their lives had been turned upside down.
Victims of a scam that lasted more than six years, the Warners continuously sent money to their “friend”, having no idea Barbara Hendry was lying to them about her identity or indeed a made-up inheritance due to her as a result of losing a family member supposedly of nobility.

Heavily in debt and Ted’s health deteriorating, Detective Constable Kim Booth went on a mission to get as much evidence possible to prove Barbara Hendry’s crimes. This is the true story of how that evidence was collected, the commitment and dedication by DC Booth, and the shocking way this con-woman manipulated her victims.
Follow the investigation and read statements and interviews in this fascinating book that reveals how Barbara Hendry was brought to justice.

A Cruel Deception is the true story of how an ordinary couple were taken in by a fraudster who conned them out of all their savings over several years. Told by the detective who made it his mission to solve the case, this will really open your eyes to how easily people can be taken in by con artists.
The story is told in a matter of fact way with interviews made up of people who worked in the bank, interviews with Ted and Joan Warner as well as with Barbara and her husband, of which Barbara was the brains behind the whole con.
The only thing Ted and Joan are guilty of is being compassionate people, of which last time I checked, isn’t a crime. It was actually quite sad to see how trusting this pair are. Even when the possibility of what Barbara has been doing to them is first discovered, they are reluctant to believe the authorities rather taking this con woman’s word. The fact that she has bled them dry and taken every penny they had as well as getting loans to try and help this woman was just shocking.
Barbara I had absolutely no sympathy for. To prey on nice innocent people for your own gain leaving them pretty much in dire needs, she deserved everything she had coming to her. Scary to think if it hadn’t of been for this keen detective, she would probably have got away with it and who knows how many more peoples lives she would have ruined.
A Cruel Deception is a sad reminder of the world we live in and how we can’t always take people at face value. It was certainly an enlightening read in how these con artists work and makes for some scary reading in just how much they can get away with. It was also sad to see the decline in health of Ted whilst the case was going on and through the chapters where we see Kim visiting the couple, the reader gets the chance to see what this type of crime does to it’s victims. This isn’t some fast paced crime read, rather a factual look at a heinous act by a despicable woman with no remorse for the crimes she pulled off. Frank, honest and a must read for lovers of true crime.
My thanks to the author for a readers copy of this book. All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.

A Cruel Deception is written by Kim Booth, the Detective who investigated and cracked this truly evil case of deception. A true story, Kim tells us about he’s initial concerns when faced with the details, his subsequent meetings with the Warners, and the in-depth investigation that follows.
The deception had been going on for such a long time and despite the signs, the Warners were unwilling to believe that their friend, Mrs Hendry, would do such a thing to them. It is horrible to realise how horrendous it must have been for them when they realised they had been wrong, and the precarious financial situation they were in – all from wanting to help a so called friend.
The book gives you a real insight into a police investigation and the long and laborious hours that must be spent when looking at fraud. It is very detailed, and provides statements given by lots of witness, as well as the actions carried out by Kim. I did feel that there was too much detail for me at times and I would find my mind drifting off, but it really does help to see how much work goes into such investigations.
I felt so terrible for the Warners and was absolutely shocked and disgusted at the behaviour of Mrs Hendry – to behave in such a way to a lovely older couple and wipe out their life savings is despicable. I’m so glad she, and her associates got what was coming to them. But what also amazed me is how people helped her, without even really questioning why they were doing what they were doing. it goes to show just how manipulative and calculating she really was.
Overall a really interesting story with a brilliant insight into a police fraud investigation. This will definitely open your eyes and get your thinking!

This is an excellent read and will astonish you, when you see the depths some people will sink too.
This is a true crime story and is a case that Kim Booth himself solved when he was a policeman. The book is full of details of the fraud case as he finds himself trying to track down a con artist who engaged in a long scam. After befriending a couple she systematically began to steal every penny they had.
Such an interesting read as you get to the see the inner workings of the police and what they are up against.

I absolutely love anything to do with crime- be it fictional crime or true crime. If it has crime in the title or crime is mentioned in the synopsis then you can rest assured that the book will accidentally on purpose fall into my shopping basket or trolley. I read the synopsis for 'A Cruel Deception' and I just knew that I would have to read the book as soon as possible. I did read it and believe me it is one hell of a read. It seems sort of wrong to say that I enjoyed reading about somebody else's misfortune but I did find it to be an informative and educative read.
I became addicted to this book from the moment I read the synopsis, never mind from when I started to read the book itself. I started reading with the intention of only reading a couple of chapters but I became so caught up in the case and the police investigation that I lost all track of time and I had actually read well over half a dozen chapters. I had to keep reading to see how the case panned out, to discover what happened to Barbara Hendry and to see if the Warner family got any chance of justice. The pages turned increasingly quickly as my desperation to find out what happened grew and grew. It didn't take me long to get to the end of the investigation/ story, which I was disappointed about. I don't mean that in a negative way but I had taken to the author's writing style so well and I was finding the case so interesting that I wanted the book to continue for a lot longer than it did.
'A Cruel Deception' is well written. Kim certainly grabs your attention from the start and he keeps that attention all the way through the book. I found the mixture of police statements, reports, interview notes and descriptions of events to be an interesting way of telling the story. In a sense, it only added authenticity to the story. I got a real sense of how cruel and manipulative fraudsters can be and how they hoodwink their victims, in a sense fraudsters brainwash their victims. I had a bit of an understanding regarding fraud as I used to work in safeguarding vulnerable adults and this sort of case came up from time to time.
In short, I found 'A Cruel Deception' to be an educative, informative and at times scary read. Scary in the sense of how easily some people can be parted from their money. I would certainly recommend this book to other readers and particularly to those readers, who, like me, love reading about true crime. The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*.

When I first picked this book up I was not sure if I would like it or not. I am more into crime and thriller fiction novels and did not know how I would get on with this one due it being a story of a real life crime. However I was very wrong.
This minute I started reading this novel I was hooked. The way the author tells his story is captivating and he really engrosses you into his investigation of the fraud of Joan and Ted Warner.
Whilst reading this book you cannot actually comprehend how evil and deceptive some people are in this world and you feel drawn in into how people must feel if they are victims of this kind of crime! The author stressed the importance of how this kind of crime can happen to anyone and anywhere.
It is so interesting to read the real police statements from a number of different people within the book who were involved with this crime. It gives you an insight into the lengths people will go to fulfil their own selfish desires. There was many times throughout the book that I even had to stop and tell myself that this actually happened.
The author uses humour as well to soften the blow of the crime as well as giving some insight into his life (although very brief). I loved reading this due to the settings in the book. It is set mainly in Glasgow (where I live) and has some references to Newcastle (where I was born) and Birmingham (where I trained to be a teacher). So it was great that I could relate to the places mentioned within the book.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves crime novels and to those who don’t. It really does open your eyes into the world of fraudsters which is something you do not come across very often. A strong 4* for me and an excellent read.

This is a true crime thriller, about the investigation into fraud, the victims were Ted and Joan Warner. They came into contact with a woman called Barbara Hendry, a con woman, who purported to be an estranged member of an aristocratic family and needed money to fight them for what she was ‘due’.
Slowly, she bled the Warner’s dry, taking all their savings….
The story is about how DC Booth tries to convince them Barbara is not who she says she is, and they need to press charges against her.
I enjoyed the police procedural aspect of the tale, and reading the statements of those involved….it just shows how easy it is to be taken in by these totally unscrupulous people, with no morals at all. An interesting and intriguing story, all the more so for being true.
Thank you to Sarah at Book On The Bright Side for the opportunity to participate in this blog tour and for the promotional materials and a free copy of the ebook. This is my honest, unbiased review.

This book is written by a former Detective Inspector who has worked on high profile cases. He knows his stuff and it shows with this book. It is a unique chance to witness how such an investigation works, and the nuances within it. The thought processes involved and the roller coaster ride of emotions make this a compelling read. Fascinating stuff!

A Cruel Deception by Kim Booth, however, is a story of fraud set in the 1970s-80s. Fraud cases were uncommon then. Access to telephones was very limited. Internet and smartphones didn’t exist. There was no need to train detectives and personnel especially for fraud detection, unlike now.
First and foremost, all through the book, even though the police detective assigned to the case (also the author of this book- Kim Booth), insisted that the Warners were being defrauded, I kept hoping that somehow Barbara Hendry really did mean to return their money.
So much so that till about halfway through the book, I was very suspicious of all the characters. Literally ALL the characters- even the victims of the fraud and the investigators too.
When the suspect had been arrested, her and her accomplices’ statements recored, I still wasn’t satisfied that the suspect was really the mastermind. There had to be someone pulling the strings!
So yes, the factor of whodunit is all over the book.
Kim somehow made me care about the Warners. They were extremely sweet and caring people who got robbed of their savings for no fault of theirs. And the fraudster Barbara Hendry- Oh! How I hated her.
I loved how the Kim has described all aspects of the investigation. The appointing of witnesses, visiting old government records, other people who knew the fraudster.
Also, this makes us aware of the exact nature of detective work. And you’re very mistaken if your mind went to Sherlock Holmes. No. Detective work is lengthy, meticulous and intensive. Not just solving murder crimes and meeting Dukes and Lords, but about protecting the rights of the common people.
On the flipside, this felt quite repetitive. Facts that we have already been made aware of in A’s statement, are repeated in B’s. I felt like the book would have been much more exciting the repetitions and jargon were left out.
One more point that struck me forcibly is the era of the book. Based in the 1970s, the main method of communication is letters and landline telephones. Letters are no more used for personal communication, and landline phones are outdated too. A person in their middle or old ages will relate to the book way more than a youngster.
The last part of the book really touched me. Kim has mentioned how he had promised the Warner’s that he’d write a book about their fraud case so people would become aware, and I really appreciate that he kept it, and immensely respect him for it. Believe me, writing an entire book is hard work.

A Cruel Deception tells the true story of how Ted and Joan Warner were deceived by someone they believed to be a close friend. Over the course of 7 years they took out loans and borrowed from friends and family to help this person to the point they were almost led to bankruptcy.
Told from the point of the investigating officer it is certainly an eye opener as to just how much effort was made by Barbara Hendry to keep this deception going for so long. I think what was even more surprising was the number of people she managed to convince to assist her in this deception. This is a case from the late 70’s – early 80’s so everything was done old school… no internet scam. Everything was done by letter, phone call or face to face. The author has not sugar coated this story in any way as he takes you through the investigations, the witness statements and even the Warner’s refusal to believe they were victims of anything criminal. You could sense the frustration the author felt and over time they formed a sort of friendship with the Warners.
You really have to feel sorry for Ted and Joan. They were hard working, decent people who just wanted to help out. As their lives were turned upside down and it started to affect their health you begin to understand how they didn’t want to believe that anything was wrong. Their determination to pay back every bit of money they had borrowed when the easy way out would have been declaring themselves bankrupt shows the kind of determination that is not always present in people today. As far as they were concerned it was their mess and they would fix it. Barbara on the other hand was something else. Even as the evidence was against her, she initially refused to admit she had done anything bad.
In an age where this type of fraud is carried out over the internet on a daily basis, especially on the elderly and usually by people not really known to the victim this is a stark warning to all. We all say this would never happen to me and am sure the Warner’s thought the exact same thing….. right before their so-called friend promptly started taking them for every penny they had… and the money they didn’t have. The only thing that I struggled with was the detail in the statements from everyone involved in the case. At times they went from one straight to another which if I am honest distracted me from the case but that is probably just me. If you like true crime, then check this book out. It’s not fast paced and there is no gruesome murder,but you will get an insight into all that goes into a fraud investigation.

This is the musings of a retired police detective set in the 1970-mid 1980’s. The main part of the story is about a couple who were duped into lending money to a woman purporting to be the illegitimate child of the Duchess of Argyll who needed the money before a large inheritance was sorted out. When DC Booth begins to investigate so well has the woman prepared her victims that she has warned them that “the police are likely to visit and it is just the wrath of the family trying to set things against her”. The rest of the story is about getting the couple to believe that she is a con artist and the investigation in order to press charges,
, interspersed with other interesting tales that PC Booth came across during the period or to demonstrate the criminal minds of the time. I think this book would appeal to an older age group who remember the period- a time of less mobility and certainly no mobile phones. Some facts are repeated which labours the story a little. An interesting tale of times gone by and how things were in a bygone age. not so very long ago.

This is a True Crime book about the subject on Deception, Fraud, Manipulation and much more. This is told by Detective Constable Kim Booth. There are Statements, Interviews, Newspaper Clippings etc which makes this story more realistic and authentic.
Joan and Ted ( Edward ) Warner met Barbara Hendry on holiday and this set off a chain of events that lasted 7 YEARS. This story is both absolutely heartbreaking, brings on all the emotions. And it honestly makes you understand how manipulative people can be and how easily people can be the subject of deception and fraud.
It also outlines just how hard it to investigate these crimes and how much work goes into bringing people to justice.
This was well written and Kim made you really addictive to how the situation played out and it was especially interesting how he told the story. It was repetitive in some places.
Overall it is an awesome true crime book which is addictive and grabs you from the first page to the last. And I great look into fraud and manipulation

Boring and Repetitive
Very disappointing. I found the book very boring and repetitive. Largely witness statements. A sad but ultimately dull fraud case.
