Rezension zu „The Damnation of John Donellan “
"'A masterpiece of well-founded suspicions based on first-hand evidence' (Iain Finlayson, The Times) 'A fascinating account of a Georgian cause celebre... just as Kate Summerscale did brilliantly in The Suspicions of Mr Whicher, Cooke focuses on legal procedure and forensic evidence to gripping effect' (Kathryn Hughes, Mail on Sunday)"
