review 1: This is a well-written compilation of some of the world's most sensational, unsolved crimes; coupled with photos to help the readers imagine the crime scenes as well as the crimes as they unfolded. The only thing that bothers me, though, is that it doesn't do anything else aside from informing its readers how such crimes were left unsolved over the years. In that case, the book ably served its purpose to familiarize its audience, but nothing else.Which is frustrating, given that Nigel Blundell is a bloody good writer, and that his style makes his readers clamor for more information...which, unfortunately, is just as far as he could go.
review 2: Very interesting book, although perhaps a little dated now, as it was written in the early 1980s. It contains case de... moretails of lots of unsolved crimes, including infamous crimes such as Jack the Ripper, the Black Dahlia murder, Nazi war crimes, and the Hindenberg disaster. It also contains details of lesser known crimes that I hadn't heard of before. Also has a few black and white photos scattered throughout the book which were interesting to see. less
