This is the best book written on the Oakes murder mystery. The fascinating story has been the subject of endless trashy novels written by aspiring writers with no talent. Finally an author who has researched the subject and covers the story and times from different angles and perspectives. An excellent combination murder mystery and social history of a bygone era.
