Clara at the Door with a Revolver

Whitzman does a deep dive to put this three-act tragedy in historical context…the story has been told many times, but not in quite the same way. ~Pat St. Germain, Post Media

Whitzman’s book...brings to light a unique case in the annals of Canadian criminal history involving one Clara Ford. ~Emily Donaldson, Globe and Mail

Whitzman … brings to life a spectacular 1894 Toronto true crime case. ~Nathalie Atkinson, Zoomer Magazine

The city’s seven newspapers in the 1890s were in competition for readership and often exaggerated or even fabricated facts to sell papers – but Whitzman tells the story in shades of grey. ~Cassandra Drudi, Quill & Quire

A fascinating exploration of a part of Toronto’s history that deserves a new telling. ~Deborah Dundas, The Toronto Star
