This fascinating A-Z compilation of murderous crimes spans globe and centuries and uncovers the extremes of human criminality. More than 300 cases also shed light on advances in crime detection, law... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I usually enjoy all of the books put out by Mammoth. Unfortunately, this books devotes no more than a page, maybe 2, to hundreds of different crimes. It reads exactly like clips from a newspaper with absolutely no in-depth info about the criminal nor about the actual crime. It would have benefitted greatly by simply pulling one or two crimes per category and doing a deep dive on the criminal, the crime, and the victim(s). Very unfulfilling as some of the reports do not even tell the outcome. NOT for true crime buffs.
