The majority of books on true crime and murder focus first and foremost on specific incidents. This concise volume takes a different approach, in dealing with them according to where the executioner completed his task. [[Capital Punishment: London's Places of Execution by Robert Bard|Full Review]]

===[[A Good Month For Murder by Del Quentin Wilber]]===
[[image:2star.jpg|link=Category:{{{rating}}} Star Reviews]] [[:Category:True Crime|True Crime]]
I like to read crime fiction in part because it allows me to keep the dark world of murder and mayhem at arms-length, whilst still enjoying the vicarious thrills. After all, this is fiction and therefore a made up death. However, sometimes it is important to have a reality check and read a bit of non-fiction. The problem is with true crime as a genre is that it is sometimes written the same as fiction, although it is 'real’. Is there a place to sensationalise actual death for the entertainment of others?
