Rick Geary
This was a surprisingly delightful little book. Presented in graphic novel format, it covers a couple of the more notorious English murders of the Victorian era (including the mandatory retelling of the Jack the Ripper case), as well as American murders, such as the notorious H.H. Holmes murder castle, and a wonderfully presented telling of the assassination of president James Garfield that tracks the somewhat parallel lives of victim and assassin. The artwork gives a fresh dimension to these tales of murder without being graphic. I would definitely recommend this one, especially if you are just beginning to fall into the hole of true crime. A quick read, despite being nearly 300 pages; I actually tore through this in an afternoon.
