british-journal-of-canadian-studies-vol-21-no-1-2008.pdf

I was just tipped off to this review of The Last to Die. It comes from the prestigious publication, the British Journal of Canadian Studies (Vol. 21, No, 1, 2008). Thanks to Ged Martin in West Waterford, UK for his outstanding review.

Plugging away at Book #2

Oops, I almost typed “Book #3″ by mistake… wishful thinking on my part, perhaps? Not a heck of a lot to tell. Research is going well for my second book, a collection of unsolved crimes. I will post details and excerpts soon.

Cheers,

Robert

New posts on wrestling, clocks, and investing in Bolivia

Here’s a little something for fans of wrestling, timepieces, or Bolivia (seriously). I’ve uploaded some past articles on WWE wrestler Trish Stratus, the Swiss clock museum, and investing in Bolivia. Enjoy!

Everything that’s old is new again: more updates to The Vault

From cult recruitment to capital punishment, and art history to music, I’ve uploaded some of my part articles to The Vault section. These represent a very small section of my work (I haven’t touched on my years at The Toronto Star, television, or the many educational CD-Roms I wrote and produced over the years – yet). Enjoy! I look forward to your comments.

Updates to The Vault section

Hello Everyone,

I’ve added a number of articles to The Vault section, and will continue adding other pieces over the coming weeks. Enjoy! I look forward to your comments.

Welcome to the official website of True Crime Canada and the author Robert J. Hoshowsky

Foreward by Peter C. Newman

“There’s really only one good reason to read this book: it’s a fascinating story told by a great storyteller. Robert Hoshowsky has masterfully reconstructed the lurid tale of the two low-lifes who became the last two criminals hanged in Canada. The devil is in the details, and he digs them out fearlessly, including much new information that reveals new and unexpected nuances about the crimes.”
