Book description
This book tells the stories of crimes committed in the frenzies and frustrations of love – violent and often tragic endings to a love story that has gone wrong. Passion, jealousy, revenge, and despair are the themes, and the eternal triangle is often the pattern. Here are true-life tales of romance, mystery and horror, sometimes – because love is blind and foolish – with an element of farce.
Not all crimes of passion are impulses of the moment. Sometimes the rage in the heart pulls the strings of a cool and calculating mind…..
Author and journalist Tim Healey conveys vividly the historical and social setting of these dramatic happenings and writes with understanding and compassion.
