In this seventy-two well-executed tales of arresting intrigue and deadly deception, Max Haines offers up a feast of true crime fare. From a modern-day Greek tragety complete with murderous mother-in-law and backyard bonfire, to lesbian lovers who would allow nothing - and nobody - to stand in the way of their affection, this is a fascinating compendium of some of the strangest murders imaginable. We meet the killer who drilled the dentist, and consider what it is that … mehrleads so many unsavoury types to develop an affinity for bath- tubes, or to send unwanted bodies to Newfoundland.
From terror in a small town to the hitchhiker from hell, Murders Strange But True is a spine-tingling bedside companion and a haunting reminder that truth is definitely stranger than fiction. weniger
