5.0
2 for the price of 1. The first half is a graphic novel giving the story of notorious murderers Burke and Hare in 19th century Edinburgh, with a sparse script and detailed artwork. The second half, listed as an appendix, is the author's dissection of the known facts, myths and artistic licence used in the story. Entertaining and educational and a fascinating glimpse into one of the most misrepresented crimes in history. Well worth a read.
