"Virtually all the hallmarks of the classic British mystery appear here, the apparent originals of all those overly clever poisonings, those horrors in sleepy priories and dramas set against majestic Highland backdrops, those appallingly unlikely suspects.... These cases have an advantage over their fictional descendants, however, by virtue of their...psychological depth."
Luc Sante, New York Review of Books
Review:"Without ever straining to please, Roughead writes wonderful page-turning stuff, crammed with archaisms and play; he's an energetic connoisseur of wrongdoing who measures his shocks with care, teasing the reader with the hoariest conventions for better effect.... [H]e follows up each trail of evidence, and each argument in court, with a clarity and attention to detail worthy of Perry Mason."

Book Description: The New York Review of Books, Inc, United States, 2000. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 203 x 127 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Dorothy Sayers called William Roughead "the best showman who ever stood before the door of the chamber of horrors," and his true crime stories, written in the early 1900s, are among the glories of the genre. Displaying a meticulous command of evidence and unerring dramatic flair, Roughead brings to life some of the most notorious crimes and extraordinary trials of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century England and Scotland. Utterly engrossing, these accounts of pre-meditated mayhem and miscarried justice also cast a powerful light on the evil that human beings, and human institutions, find both tempting to contemplate and all too easy to do.
