Just a short little 80 page book based on both solved and unsolved murders, in which it is well written and laid out.

I really enjoyed this little book, I didn't know about any of these cases which was great to read about something new to me (true crime related). I liked reading about the different people and the different true events that happened over the centuries, it was a fantastic little read.

If you like true crime you may like this book.

I can't fault this book, I rate it 5 stara

Alright for a quick read on the train, bought to see if appropriate for my class but probably not.
