Özet
 'It is a formidable, indeed a damning indictment and Wilkes presents the result of his detective work with journalistic panache'
P. D. JAMES, Times Literary Supplement

'Roger Wilkes's seminal book lays out the facts . . . one of the great unsolved murders of the century'
CRAIG TAYLOR, Guardian

'I call it the impossible murder because Wallace couldn't have done it. And neither could anyone else. The Wallace case is unbeatable, it will always be unbeatable'
RAYMOND CHANDLER


Who really killed Julia Wallace? The final verdict.

Ever since that terrible night in January 1931, when the body of Julia Wallace was found in her Liverpool home, her head crushed by violent blows, the identity of her killer has remained a mystery.

Her husband, William, was accused, tried, convicted and sentenced to hang for murder, but he was then acquitted in a sensational appeal court judgement. Yet the police refused to reopen their investigation.

So who did kill Julia? When Roger Wilkes started researching a dramatised radio documentary for Liverpool's Radio City, he uncovered new evidence which suggested a disturbing story - a crucial witness ignored by the police, even a suggestion of a deliberate cover-up.

Finally, he provides compelling evidence as to the identify of the real killer.©1984 Roger Wilkes Law Murder Suç True Crime

It is a formidable, indeed a damning indictment and Wilkes presents the result of his detective work with journalistic panache. (P. D. James)
Roger Wilkes's seminal book lays out the facts . . . one of the great unsolved murders of the century. (Craig Taylor)
I call it the impossible murder because Wallace couldn't have done it. And neither could anyone else. (Raymond Chandler)
Engrossingly readable. (Christopher Pym)
For once the blurb lives up to expectation. This is a real life whodunnit.
If you're given to nightmares, read no further. Liverpool's notorious Wallace case is straight out of Poe or Kafka. (Irene McManus)

This is an interesting book, making the case for the author's own theory of the infamous Wallace case. It is well researched, and makes its argument well, whether you believe his theory or not. The narration is fine, except when any accent is called for, not just Liverpudlian but others as well. Initially, this is odd, but as the book goes on it becomes incredibly irritating.

Please learn accents

I liked this story from a historical and informative point of view. We'll worth a listen.

What stood out for me was the utter inefficiency of the investors. They were bought off.

I enjoyed this story on the whole but as others have said it would be better for the story teller not to try and use accents he‘s not very good at. Having said that it didn’t detract from my overall enjoyment of the story.

Interesting but frustrating

Gripping true story, well told.. but the narrator really ought to give up on the Liverpudlian accent.
It sounds like a cross between Yorkshire/Lancashire/Irish/Scottish!!

Great story/terrible accent!

A concisely written account of, and investigation into this baffling case. It reads rather like a true-life Robert Goddard novel, and I can't say higher than that!

Excellent
