Product Description

Product Description
A dark chapter in Aberdeen's past is about to be reopened. - The grudge that ended in death in an east end pub when butcher James Harrow brutally stabbed two work-mates in 1901. - The grisly discovery of a woman's arm on the Torry shore in 1945 that signalled the start of a mystery which to this day remains unsolved. - The tragic love affair that led to the gallows in 1963 - the first hanging in Aberdeen for 106 years. - The double life of brilliant scientist Dr Brenda Page of Aberdeen University, battered to death in her flat in 1978. Her murder remains unsolved. - The barbaric killing of a nun at St Mary's Cathedral in 1988 that revolted a city. Blood and Granite is a gruesome chronicle of the most notorious homicides committed in Aberdeen over the last hundred years. Compelling reading for those who are too young to remember - and the old who cannot forget.

4.0 out of 5 stars Blood and Granite, 5 May 2007
By L. Hay "Saturnicus" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
I must confess that my interest in this book comes from being born an Aberdonian. As gruesome as the contents are, I recognise all the locations as they were then. Unless the reader has a morbid fascination with homicide, I cannot imagine too many outsiders being interested in Aberdeen's crime rate. I can remember many of the incidents contained in this book and the uproar they caused at the time. My aunt even knew one of the victims.All the way through I kept thinking "I remember that".
Mr Adams was a reporter. I think he could have gone into some of the incidents a little more thoroughly; some he barely mentions, but he might not have been directly involved with them. I found it a good read, jumping around a little at times, and I am only sorry that my mother was not spared to read it. She would have enjoyed it - from the nostalgia point of view of course, much as I did. It would have been nice to contact the author to tell him snippets he might not know.
Thankyou Mr Adams for taking the time to write this.
