Unsolved Murders and Mysteries
The crime of murder- horrible at the best of times but doubly chilling when unsolved. Who could have wanted to kill Janice Weston, wealthy solicitor, battered to death in an exposed lay-by on the A1? Where was Weston going? The classic Wallace case- perennially fascinating to students of crime. Recent evidence points to a solution yet it retains its tantalizing quality of mystery. When John Carland was axed to death on holiday in France, his son Jeremy fell under suspicion. Yet could Cartland have been a delayed casualty of World War II? Robert Maxwell: was he murdered? Could a Prime Minister have been a spy for the Chinese? Was Caryl Chessman innocent? Was the man in Spandau the real Rudolf Hess? These and many other cases guaranteed to make grimly compulsive reading.

This book has the perfect amount of different cases of murders and mysteries. I'm rather into mysteries and murders and cases of crimes that haven't been solved or ones that have by the sheer ingenuity of crime fighters or detectives; so when I found cases in this book that I'd never heard of I was intruiged. I found this book to be really interesting and rather gripping, as even the stories which I had heard of before were written in a way which made the still greatly interesting. I enjoyed looking at the pictures in the middle insert, it gave me images to put with the stories for which I was reading. Overall I found this collection of stories to be gripping and compelling, and a must-read for crime aficionado's.
