"Author and criminologist Paul Harrison on Bloody Yorkshire ""Brilliantly researched and executed! A must-read volume"". Dominic Walsh-Journalist Don't be fooled by the mischievously ambiguous title of Wendy Rhodes' latest release. 'Bloody Yorkshire' is serious stuff and there is plenty of blood staining the 13 cases contained within its pages. But this is not a gratuitously grisly affair by any means. The murders documented are carried out in many different ways, but what they have in common in the way they are related is that they leave the reader feeling as sad as they are shocked."
