Unsolved Mysteries Past and Present

Colin Wilson, the incredibly prolific author of book after entertaining book dealing with both crime and the supernatural, is close to the top of his game with this new book. He is generally openminded about the often fantastic and outlandish cases he explores, which in general I find to be a healthy attitude. On occasion he loses me with his somewhat digressive speculations about "supernatural" topics, but in general I find his approach satisfying. He wisely does not aim at providing final answers for the Jack the Ripper case, the Cleveland torso murders, the various mysterious disappearances he explores, etc. Read it with the lights on.
