Crimes Strange But True

James Bland

Real life crime at it's most bizarre. Criminal research, mostly remarkable for reporting the first uses of then innovative detection methods such as handwriting and dental records in convicting the perpetrators. The last part of the book is about people who were supposed to be hanged but who survived the execution. One particularly ghoulish story about one Margaret Dixon who was found to be alive in her coffin on the way to her burial. Rory found the writing a bit tedious at times
