Crime-solving before CSI
Some interesting stories of how crimes were solved before crime labs & DNA testing. Some of these methods would never stand up to a court challenge today.

Great read! Perfect for weekends and the beach.
Dive into some forgotten cases, and learn about some of the murder and insanity that was running through various times. Highly enjoyable, and full of great information.

A bit dry, but still interesting
I liked some of the writing, but the style jumped around a bit because there were multiple authors. I hadn't heard of any of these cases before.

Excellent book, but what was even more fascinating was the web page where I lost myself for hours, reading the stories related to the crimes retold in the chapters but also reading all the other articles.
The research behind the web page is extensive and deserve the authors a five stars because the book in itself is the republishing of stories written by other authors, but someone has to do that research and find those obscure books to start with.
