"Slade's passion for the music and a grisly crime tale soaks every page like the innocent victims' spilt blood. What also comes out is the fascinating journey that folk song has taken from Britain to the Americas and back, a fascination with violent death often at its roots." - Spiral Earth.

"A fascinating, though obviously grisly, read. […] For my money it belongs firmly in the camp of 'pick it up once and you're hooked' books." - Tim Carroll, Folkwords.

"I can't think of another book that blends true crime, musical history and storytelling as well as this." - A. D. Mogg, Amazon.

"Great book. So much social history. [...] Recommend to all." - P. Smith, Amazon.
