Julia | 3 comments I've recently (re-)started reading this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8... There are a few more issues with the Goodreads entry of this book (e.g. author's name), but the most important one is the missing number of pages. I have it in front of me and the last page with actual content is page 159 (the pages afterwards are blank). The ISBN is 978-3896829849. This is the book on Amazon if that's helpful: https://www.amazon.de/Tollkirschen-Bl... Thank you for helping me! <3

Lindenblatt | 174 comments I have updated the information based on Amazon, please allow some time for the page to show the changes: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8...

If you want to write a short description, I am happy to add that as well.

Otherwise, please put (Done) in the title of this request so librarians will know this request is finished. Thanks

Julia | 3 comments Thank you so much, Lindenblatt!

I actually do have a description, an author bio and a photo of Johann Dachs right from the book!

Here's the short description from the inside of the book cover:

Das vorliegende Buch beschreibt eine Anzahl von Gewaltverbrechen, die sich in der ersten Hälfte dieses Jahrhunderts in Bayern ereigneten und bei der Bevölkerung Angst und Entsetzen hervorriefen.
Die Motive dieser Taten sind vielschichtig: Neid, Habgier, Eifersucht, Haß, Rachsucht, sexuelle Perversität oder auch Existenzangst.
Zu den Verbrechensopfern zählen Ehegatten, Geschwister, Kinder, Rivalen genauso wie Schwangere, Geliebte, Zufallsbekanntschaften oder Gendarmen. Pistole, Gewehr, Messer, Dolch, Schlagwerkzeuge, Strick, Schnur, Gift und die bloßen Hände dienen den Tätern als Mordwerkzeuge.
Die Schilderungen der wahren Begebenheiten vermitteln einen hinreichenden Eindruck, welche Gründe Menschen schon seit jeher veranlaßt haben, das Leben anderer um des eigenen Vorteils willen auszulöschen.

That sounds so dark, haha! Not how we would describe a true crime book nowadays...

Klingt schaurig, viel Spass beim Lesen 😊
