I wanted to learn about this case and about the women, Nancy and Vicki who were murdered and their story, but unfortunately this author does a poor job of making their story the center of this book. 
Poorly written. Don't recommend.

I liked the idea of the book and was interested in diving through women centered stories through history. But this book just felt very preachy and long winded. I couldn't see the connections she was (trying to) make from past stories to present ones. 

I went back and forth with this book, there were some good things in here but alot more things that I had issues with.
I love ghost stories and find that alot of the books have the same stories repeated over and over, but this book had quite a few stories I have never heard of before. I cant say that they were all creepy and paranormal but I appreciated him branching out and doing some not well known stories instead of picking all of the 'famous' ones. 
The author says several times that he is a skeptic and while I think that shines through pretty obviously, his tone during some stories made it seem like he didn't really believe in any part of the story he was telling. While that didn't really set right with me, you can tell from the stories how much research went into this book. 
My overall biggest issue with this book is the fact that it read like a history text. I understand that most ghosts are here because of something in the past but when its all factual information with little paranormal substance it gets boring. I found myself skipping a few stories because it was just  a US history retelling.
