Trade Review
"...well-written and often gripping book..." -- The Times
"A grim and fascinating history and discussion of the bystander effect... this book asks hard questions of human nature." -- Diva
"Cook’s take on events is intelligent, superbly researched and truly unsettling, making this one of the best true crime books I’ve read in the last few years." -- The Sunday Herald
"Kevin Cook takes the story apart and puts it back together again. His punchy account of this famous event reveals that almost everything we think we know about it is wrong." -- Daniel Finkelstein, Christmas Round-ups 2014 - The Times
