When John Barber began delving into the local history of Camden Town it was because his parents had lived there when they first married, and his findings were intended as no more than a trip down memory lane for members of his family But John who is better known locally as the indefatigable town centre manager for Hertford, found his knowledge and expertise was soon in such high demand that it has led unexpectedly to a new book — The Camden Town Murder — which has just been published, and a forthcoming BBC TV appearance.

The sort of book that once you put down you can't pick up again.

Sir Maurice Bowra.

 

Silly, flat and dishwatery.

Chicago Times.

 

You'll like it ... not a lot.

From the moment I picked up your book until the moment I put it down I was convulsed with laughter. Someday I intend to read it. Groucho Marx.

 

I do not claim to be a literary critic but I know dirt when I smell it and here it is in heaps - festering, putrid heaps that smell to high heaven.
