Critics Review
‘Patti McCracken brings to life this long-forgotten tale in a grimly gripping narrative.’ Financial Times
‘An immersive and compelling slice of dark history’ Kate Morgan, author of Murder: The Biography
‘Atmospheric … one hell of a story’ Spectator
‘Compulsively readable … a must for true crime fans’ Publishers Weekly
‘A detailed account of the killing spree in Nagyrev … The author weaves in character sketches that suggest the perpetrators’ various motives. Her portrait of Auntie Suzy, a buxom woman fond of her pipe and brandy, is particularly evocative.’ Economist
‘Dramatic and compassionate … simply excellent’ Booklist
