A Treasury of Victorian Murder by Rick Geary

Through A Treasury of Victorian Murder, Rick Geary leads the reader through a detailed historical investigation of several famous murders of the 19th and 20th centuries with a sharp visual narrative. From Jack the Ripper and President Abraham Lincoln to more obscure (but no less chilling!) cases such as that of H.H. Holmes.  

His restrained caricature and monotonously uniform line style combine to give the readers clarity as they become familiar with the people involved in each case, their distinct manners and their circumstances laid out as plainly as possible.  This plain style helps the author delve into the controversy surrounding each case with strong authority.  Each story reads like a snapshot in time, a daguerreotype of death that reveals detail but conceals a firm conclusion.
