Dramas of the Dock: True Stories of Crime

Gelesen von Verla Viera

(5 Sterne; 4 Bewertungen)

Guy Logan is a lesser known but prolific British true crime writer of the early 20th century. In this 1928 compilation, he relates the stories of over a dozen murders – their details, the subsequent investigations, the trials, and the results of the verdicts. He recounts the facts without swerving toward yellow journalism, and he ends each story with his own thoughts on the case. Logan says in the introduction that he chooses a case to write about not because of its notoriety, but because he believes it will be interesting to read. His clear and concise writing will make the reader share his interest. - Summary by Verla Viera (7 hr 17 min)
