Reviews

[Jocelie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Just read for second (or third?) time.
3 synopses of true murder cases, each by a member of England’s Detection Club. Based on trial transcripts and other sources.
Authors:
Dorothy Sayers (brilliant exposition of Wallace murder case); Francis Iles (not well done); and Freeman Wills Croft (very well done).

It’s Sayers’s and Croft’s contributions that bring this up to 4 stars.
