The 1932 trial of Daisy de Melker was a first in many respects. It drew unprecedented media coverage, locally and abroad. Spectators queued from sun-up just to get a glimpse of her. Never had public sentiment been consolidated so completely against an accused - she was condemned before she even appeared in the Johannesburg High Court.

Daisy de Melker is considered South Africa's first serial killer - but did she really murder the three men she had been accused of poisoning? What if ... she had not?

This is not a plea for acquittal, an application for a belated reprieve, but a query whether there was not more room for reasonable doubt than was considered in 1932. It is a plea for justice. Instead of giving a sinister slant to every circumstantial incident it takes an impartial look at the facts and asks the questions that should have been asked in 1932 ... but were not.

"The author makes a compelling argument against the verdict of Daisy de Melker’s 1932 trial. The material is well researched, the story entertaining, and the characters well developed. The style is consistent with the era and delightfully descriptive; the reader can almost visualize the scenes as they unfold. The dialogue flows naturally and could easily be adapted for screen.

A Must Read for all who are interested in crime."

Dr. Micki Pistorius, (DPhil Psychology), international serial killer profiler, best seller author of “Catch me a killer,” “Strangers on the Street,” “Fatal Females,” and “Profiling serial homicide and other crimes.”

"Daisy de Melker - Guilty or Innocent is a masterpiece of thorough research and dedication. The author, Tancred, has spent a great deal of time and effort, to come up with the most comprehensive and accurate account of the de Melker case to date. I wish I had had this book as a reference when I wrote my own chapter on the case. Daisy de Melker - Guilty or Innocent takes the reader on a journey to the darkest depth of the human psyche, and leaves the reader with their own choice over De Melker’s guilt. Lenor Tancred should be congratulated on a fantastic book that stands out from the usual true crime biographies."
