Candace Fleming always has highly rated nonfiction, though I don't think I've ever actually read any of it? I read most of this book yesterday in one sitting, impressed by the amount of research that was put into it. Fleming also has a writing style that's really easy to get pulled into, especially in that first half when she's builidng a picture of what happened during this crime.

I felt the second half of the book dragged a little more, even though some of the news coverage and the psychological analysis was interesting. Especially when looking at how Leopold and Loeb might have been tried in present day.

Apparently, this is a really popular true crime case that I knew nothing about. But it was interesting to learn about! And true crime fans will definitely dig it.
