I really can't find anything to criticise in the book. It's a fictionalised retelling of history which doesn't pretend to be the solution to the puzzle but which is nevertheless very satisfying to someone with an interest in true crime. Characterisation is excellent. The book is dominated by Bruce, who keeps his emotions in close check but towards the end of the book I found myself ''caring'' about what happened to him. As a bonus there's an excellent evocation of Liverpool between the wars. Great stuff, Mr Hamilton. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
If this book appeals then we think that you'll also enjoy [[A Very British Murder: the Story of a National Obsession by Lucy Worsley]]. You might also appreciate [[Then She Was Gone by Luca Veste]].
