By the way, I'm sure that you will have surmised this already but, just in case it needs saying, this is definitely not a children's book due to there being some graphic scenes and occasional moments of extreme out-of-body blood flow. If you're highly squeamish it may be an idea for you too to choose something else from the bookshelves. However, if you can take some blood-letting, the fact that Ferdinand writes in the style of reportage does help to reduce the pronounced feelings of goriness there would otherwise be.
A special thank you to Vintage for sending us a copy of this book for review."
If this has whetted your interest for more stories connected with crime, try [[Murders of London: In the steps of the capital's killers by David Long]]. If you'd prefer something more humorous than bloodthirsty, perhaps [[Anonymous Lawyer by Jeremy Blachman]], or [[Rumpole at Christmas by John Mortimer]] would be better.
