Customer Reviews

An apetizer...not an entree but a good 'un.

This is a great book for what it is. If you are fairly new to the wonderfull world of non-fiction crime then this book is a great starter. It follows, in sufficient detail 50 internationally noteworthy crimes. Once 'teased' by these stories you might want to search out the full story as most of them are the best of the best. Mr. Haines, sadly does not provide a bibliography but a simple search on the net for True Crime Books will give you a shed-load of them. Well written as one would expect from a professional Canadian journalist it is VERY readable. Hope this helps.

Collection of his newspaper column

I loved reading Maxes stories in the canadian newspaper. If you want to know what this book is like try doing a search on Max Haines, and I am sure some archived stories must still be around. The focus will be more on story telling and less on scientific fact, Max takes old cases and breaths life into them, it is 100% accurate probably not, but it does make good reading.
