Dorothy Sayers called William Roughead "the best showman who ever stood before the door of the chamber of horrors," and in Classic Crimes he combines his professional expertise as a lawyer with his interest as a criminologist to discuss the true crimes of Katherine Ogilvie, Deacon Brodie, Burke & Hare, Madeleine Smith, Constance and several others.
