This book is written by Catherine Fogarty. She is a fan of murder and mystery stories. She wrote this book because she is really interested in that kind of stories and wanted to share them to the world.
“Why do you like telling stories about murder?”
“How do you sleep at night?”
These are questions I have been asked many times when I tell people I write and host Canadian true crime podcast. And the answer is that writing about terrible crimes and cold-blooded killers does often keep me tossing and turning into the wee hours of the night (Fogarty, 1).
In this very first quote of the book, the author clarifies her rare fascination on crime and murder. Throughout the book, she tells many different stories with different contexts on crimes and misteries that occured all over Canada.
