Rudy Parker asked this question about Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania:

Wow i absolutely loved 'In the Garden of Beasts'! Is 'Dead Wake' written in a similar style/from a similar perspective? Or is it taking a different Tack (excuse my awful pun!)? Thanks, Rudy

I've already read his Devil in the White City about a serial killer at the Chicago World's Fair and have just received In the Garden of Beasts. Dead Wake is written in story form but the facts are gleaned from telegrams, ships' logs, remembrances from survivors and the infamous British intelligence agency 40. Absolutely recommend this book to anyone interest in history. Told from both British and German view points. (less)
