This book features several historical true crime cases from all across America over the years. Each case is briefly discussed, leaving time for multiple cases to be highlighted. Despite the fact that there are multiple cases featured in this book, each one is packed with enough details that you get a really good concept of the case. In fact, there were a couple mentioned that I am looking forward to researching more in the future. If you like brief true crime stories in the vein of the collections by Ann Rule, this might be something for you to look into.

I bought this book on Audible, and started it several days ago at work and finished up today while working on laundry. The listening time for this book is listed at 8 hours, but I believe mine was a little less because I listen at a little bit faster of a speed. If you are interested in a physical copy, it is less than 300 pages. Harold Schechter is one of my favorite crime writers. I prefer his books that focus on a single person, but I bought this one simply because he wrote it. I have nothing negative to say about this book, as it was written in his typical style that made reading enjoyable. There were plenty of facts and evidence in the book that the author did his normal level of exceptional research on. I appreciated that there were cases I had never heard of in this book, because I love to learn. I have two more by this author that I am looking forward to getting to.
