The Progress of a Crime by Julian Symons
3.0
Julian Symons writes really great classic mysteries that don't follow the detective/whodunnit style of the Golden Age of mystery writing. Unfortunately I do like that more. However, his writing and characterization are exceptional but this plot and structure didn't appeal to me as much.
The plot is loosely based upon something Symons had seen when younger. In the novel, a report is at a bonfire when a man is stabbed to death by a gang of youths. What follows is the story of how eyewitness reports and reconstruction can affect trials and convictions.
