Murder Most Real
The ninth Bill Reyner book seems to be coming along quite well. I’ve reached chapter 12 and typical of Bill, he’s already in too deep to get out without someone getting hurt. This time he’s in search of the fabled King John’s treasure.
Talking about books, I find that factual stories are sometimes more amusing and engrossing than fiction. Although Bill Reyner’s activities are loosely based on actual occurrences and real places, for a real laugh you should read ‘The Torso Murder’ by Brian Vallée. Although murder is not a humorous subject, I think you’ll find that Evelyn Dick’s antics are more than worth the read. Unfortunately it is a historical fact that in those days the Hamilton Police were – well to be polite – slipshod. I’m sure if you read the book you’ll figure a few other people who should have gone to prison. Today of course our police are among the finest and best trained in the world.
