Groomed by Nicola Tallant

Groomed by Nicola Tallant

The horrifying story of Jonathan Cresswell and the rape and murder of 21 year old showjumper Katie Simpson, who was initially thought to have taken her own life until Cresswell's crime was uncovered

'Groomed is a gripping read and a serious cautionary tale of how one man achieved a lifetime of abuse, coercion and control over multiple girls and young women with near impunity, with fatal consequencesA must-read to help prevent future failures to protect victims and survivors' -- Sarah Benson * Chief Executive, Women’s Aid Ireland *
'Another triumph from Nicola Tallant, that shows a new side to her investigatory and writing skills. Katie Simpson was failed in life and death and this book captures all of that in a read that is gripping, but also full of empathy and understanding about the murder of the talented young showjumper' -- Allison Morris * Crime Correspondent for Belfast Telegraph *
