      The author would benefit from taking a writing course or two.
    • 3/5
      This is another compilation of true crime accounts. Most of them are taken from Magazines and each is written by a different person. They cover crimes from all over and different types of crime. The only one I didn’t like was “Monster of Florence”, but then I didn’t like the book, so I may have been a little prejudiced coming into it.Aside from that one, the accounts in here were very interesting, to varying degrees, there was another one that was kind of ‘yawn’, but each account is short enough that you can skim over ones that don’t interest you.
