Customer Reviews

Short interesting stories.

Even though I read this book a few years ago, I remember it was Not a chore to read it. Some stories were more exciting than others, for the new True Crime reader you'll enjoy it- Easy reading, no big words you might expect from a reporter.

Exciting collection of stories.

Crime on Deadline was a great read. Ten short stories told by real reporters. This book has heart and soul. Two thumbs up.

Crime on Deadline takes a look behind the headlines

I loved this book. So often we read news stories and think of the reporters as being unbiased, unaffected journalists simply putting down on paper the things they see. "Crime on Deadline" shows reporters for who they are: sometimes fragile, sometimes hardened, always weaving their own experiences and ideals into their stories. Anyone who reads a newspaper regularly could benefit from seeing what happens behind the stories and headlines. -- John Driscoll
