The Mammoth Book of True Crime by Colin Wilson

Started: 12/12/18
Finished: 3/25/19
Year: 1998
Pages: 626
Genre: True Crime
Grade: C
Reason for reading: grabbed off TBR pile
Blurb (from back cover): "With more than 70 chapters on every aspect of crimes and criminals, this vast collection includes subjects as varied as alibis, arson, blackmail, computer crimes, con men, conspiracy theories, dominance, dual personality, headless corpses, hired killers, killer couples, ladykillers, manic messiahs, mass murderers, parent killers, perverts, protection rackets, sabotage, serial killers, stranglers, sleepwalking slayers, train murders, victims and vitals clues.
Opinion: This definitely covers probably every aspect of true crime but the examples/blurbs were short. I would have liked more indepth examples in fewer chapters. Some of the chapter subjects overlapped. I would suggest that anyone who enjoys true crime, take a look at this book.
