libscote 's review for:
Murder Among Friends: How Leopold and Loeb Tried to Commit the Perfect Crime
by Candace Fleming
challenging
dark
informative
sad
fast-paced
This book was disturbing and fascinating all at the same time. Two boys set out to do the perfect crime and are basically caught by a pair of glasses left behind at the scene. We do get a lot of glimpses at how their life was hard, but you also get the sense of how their wealth ultimately protected them. This case also made me remember the name Clarence Darrow, who I hadn't thought about in years. I listened to the audio, which was quite good. You do miss a few pictures in the book, but I didn't find that a detraction.
