    The Titchbourne Claimant, interesting case due to the constraints of international communication.

    Jeremy Bambers always interesting.

    "Newton and the Counterfeiter" by Thomas Levinson, certainly historical and a great read generally. Shatters any perceptions you had of Isaac Newton, he was a Bastard through and through.

    Anyway, that's my tuppence worth.
    Thanks Al

    Ive only read one book on the Green Bicylcle Murder. It was one of the ColdCaseJury series by Antony Brown. I’ve also read one on the Tichbourne Claimant a few years ago. I’ve just googled it and I think that it was the Robyn Annear book.

    The Gatton Murders: A True Story of Lust, Vengeance and Vile Retribution by Stephanie Bennett

    An appropriate read at this time of year because the murders of 2 sisters and their brother took place between Christmas and New Year in 1898.
    Thanks Enigma

    started a topic True Crime books

    True Crime books

    Just hoping for a few suggestions for potential purchases of true crime books. I recently read the book The Fatal Passion Of Alma Rattenbury which I thought was excellent but I’m struggling to find other titles that get my interest. I tend to prefer historical cases (solved or unsolved) I’d also like to know if there’s been another book on the Ratcliffe Highway Murders apart from The Maul And The Pear Tree?

    Titles, authors and comments/reviews would be appreciated.
