Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"What stands out is the tone of the work; this collection has a cheeky perspective. Readers who enjoy wry humor . . . "The Treasury of Victorian Murder, Compendium II" satisfies readers' insatiable curiosity with the macabre, represented by the continual fascination for stories about the Donner Party, Titanic, and Pompeii." --Laura Perenic, "Voya"
