Representaion As Books We, the Accused

Ernest Raymond was not generally regarded as a crime novelist, and 'We The Accused' is not a puzzle story of the traditional kind, but a realistic novel based on the Crippen case. Paul Presset, a nondescript schoolmaster, cannot resist an open opportunity to rid himself of his overbearing, nagging wife. This powerful and haunting novel traces the dawn of motive in his mind through the murder and resulting manhunt, arrest, trial, and a final, terrible culminating scene.

Write Up Containing Books We, the Accused

First discovered this book while working as, of all things, a prison officer. I enjoyed the way that the writer manages to make the story flow so convincingly that you hardly notice the decision to murder it feels so innocuous. I also enjoyed how easy it was to get inside the head of the main character Arthur Preset.

I would read this book again! I absolutely loved the story; dark, twisted and full of suspense. I couldn't put it down and would recommend it to anyone who likes to read about characters on the run and getting away with murder!

I was given this, along with CS Foresters early novel Payment Deferred, by Kate McCallum, author of checklists of mystery fiction, published by Copperfield Press. Ive had my periods of reading vast amounts of the stuff, but not for years of late. Nonetheless, with such a well-informed recommendation, and the books handed to me, I was not going to say no!Neither of these is a mystery. They are both early examples of sitting behind the shoulder of the murderer, following developments as he does.

4.5 stars rounded up.I came across this book quite by chance listening to a YouTube vlog. This is a very powerful moving story. The author did a great job of not taking sides and revealing the characters good and bad. I had tears in my eyes at the end.

Two or three years ago, I stumbled upon this book and simply could not put it down. Suffice it to say that due to the author's skill, the killer and his lover are made sympathetic. It was riveting.

This is one of the best stories I've ever read. It's not really a mystery, because you know what happened and you follow Paul along as he plans and carries out his murder. It's really a psychological study of how someone can descend to a point where killing seems the best solution. The small bothers and little compromises pile together to create an unbearable situation. The rationalization of what is being contemplated at first seems absurd, but later perhaps even the reader can imagine taking
