CRIMINAL WIRRAL
Written by
DANIEL
K. LONGMAN
Criminal Wirral is an intriguing and entertaining
collection of some of the strangest, most despicable and comical crimes
that took place on the Wirral peninsula from the Victorian era up until
the early twentieth century. Daniel K. Longman's painstaking
research has uncovered many fascinating cases that have been long forgotten,
and sheds new light on local causes celebres. The tales are supported
by a number of maps with many contemporary and modern photographs, which
help to bring these events and the people featured in them back to life.
Criminal Wirral will appeal to anyone who has
an interest in the darker side of Wirral's history.
Daniel Longman clearly has a future in writing. Eighteen
years of age with one book on the market and a further four in the pipeline
is indicative enough of his talents, but to have an author of the reputation
of Terry Deary (Horrible Histories) Forewording speaks volumes.
Written whilst studying for his AS Levels
in English, Daniel displays remarkable skill and dedication, laying
the foundation and background to each tale with confidence, before outlining
the dénouement with infinite care and precision.
Often startling, often humorous, Criminal Wirral is an entertaining read that will keep anybody interested in true crime, not just those from Merseyside, intrigued until the bitter end.
