Now, we will venture into the darker side of life, this one is dedicated for the CSI agent-wannabes within us. This book recorded the infamous homicides from early 1800s to, well 1900s including the Body Snatching duo Burke and Hare, and Dr. Neill Cream notoriously known as the Lambeth Poisoner . The crimes were described briefly, leaving much of its gruesome details, but the book sure gave plenty of pictures of caricatures, police sketches, newspaper clippings, and photos that is more than enough to give you the ideas of what went on back then. I found, some of the illustrations were quite beautiful, proving once again that the act of destruction could inspire an act of creation.
