Worth your time and money

How difficult to write an account of a terrible old crime and make it c one alive in the yelling. The author has written this so well- and the narrator tells this tale in such a gripping Manor that is will be worth your time and money.
Fascinating.

Well Done

The research was great! I live nearby and had to go visit these locations myself. Some of the assumptions about female characters and their thought processes was a bit misogynistic and outdated, although veiled in a “it was just the times!” air. I wish the women depicted had been given more substance.
