I bought this book from a charity shop. I liked reading the case studies from the areas I have visited a number of times. These studies are relatively unknown nowadays.

An interesting look and account of some of Barnsley's darkest crimes. The format was a bit tiring but you can't do much else with a chronological book highlighting some of the crimes that hit the town.
