The Crime Writer's Handbook Reviews

"Looking for a new method for murder (literary of course)? Then this may be the book for you. Wynn has arranged it in encyclopedic fashion, beginning with Accidents (contrived) and working through various types of poisons, blunt instruments, and stabbing until ending up with Throat - cutting. Each of the sections is carefully subdivided for ease of use. . . . Wynn next supplies a second alphabetical list (Adipocere to Voice prints); this time about methods of detection. This amounts to a mini course in crime scene investigation and evidence processing. Finally there is a section on "other aspects of crime" including bits on police procedure and certain peculiarities of the UK legal system. Again, real life examples are offered. There is a bibliography of non-fiction works and an index. An interesting and useful addition to the reference shelf." -- Reviewingtheevidence.com
