I have this book always open on my desk
I love this book. It covers all different crimes over the past hundred years or so in a newspaper style format. Most "articles" are quite brief yet still informative and are a great starting point for any further research. Also there are several features covering major crimes such as Jack the Ripper, Jeffery Dahmer and the Manson murders. A great read and a worthwhile addition to any true crime buff's collection.
A good read...................
I really enjoyed this book of short crime stories by Martin Fido. This book contains some very well known crime tales as well as some of the lesser known ones of the past 120 years. The information can be short at times, but not too detailed that it gets boring all the while offering some very interesting yet little known facts about the various cases.
Most of the stories are 3-5 pages, with some shorter and some longer. This book would be great to take along for short reads or for times when a 12 page chapter is just too long. This was an enjoyable read for this true crime buff!
