Did you find the book online? Where? It is dated from 1957, I thought it was rare...

Anyway, the book has 16 different stories about murders. I have a photocopy of the chapter related to Parker & Hulme, called "Death in a Cathedral City", which I got from the University of London Library. It's kinda... well, it's interesting, and it focus a great deal on their trial. Most of the pictures you'll find on the internet about the real case are there (such as the crime scene, Pauline's school picture, and the diary entries). But you may imagine the tone of 50's morality, like those cheap novels about horrors and deviations in our society...

Maybe I could scan it and send the chapter to you. I'll try to convert it to pdf. Anyone else would be interested?

Anyone have this book? Is it worth getting? I can only find it online, so I'd be buying it without having a chance to actually look at it.
