Casebook Review:
Reader Review:  (94 votes)

It is hard to believe that a noted psychologist could have authored such a horrendous book. I'll save the reader the suspense: Abrahamsen believes J.K. Stephen and Prince Albert Victor worked together to commit the murders, using extremely dubious "psychological" evidence to support his claims. All but the serious collector should avoid this book at all costs.
