Mammoth Book of Unsolved Crimes, The (Wilkes, 1999)
Author: Stephen P. Ryder

Phil Sugden, author of The Complete History of Jack the Ripper, authored a chapter on the Ripper in The Mammoth Book of Unsolved Crimes, edited by Roger Wilkes and published in 1999. The book is readily available in the UK and in the US, and should prove an interesting read, considering the popularity of Sugden's previous work.
I've just ordered a copy myself. Has anyone else read it, and if so, could you shed more light on the contents? (Thanks to GreyHunter for pointing this one out...) |

I've had the book since it came out, and have found it a very entertaining read. There are also chapters on Hanratty, the Black Dahlia and Julia Wallace (a fave English mystery of mine) as well as the Chivers poisoning case and the Edwardian seediness of the Phyllis Dimmock murder.
I recommend it to anyone with an interest in true crime. You will enjoy it very much. |
