Like other Dorling Kindersley books, the layout is what jumps out at you ... we
think it will make a great gift for anyone who loves crime fiction. It seems a
perfect reference tool for authors who need a little inspiration or who want to
ground their work with a few facts from the world of true crime ... Crime
fiction author Peter James adds the cherry on top with his foreword. ― Crime
Fiction Lover
From the 1671 attempt to steal the Crown Jewels to the 2015 Hatton Garden
heist, and taking in Burke and Hare, Bonnie and Clyde and the Bandit Queen of
Uttar Pradesh, The Crime Book by Dorling Kindersley is an exhaustively
researched and lavishly illustrated treasure-trove of malfeasance through the
ages and around the world. ― The Sunday Times and The Times Crime Club
