I would rate it higher except for the incredibly long sentence style of Mr Goodman - reminds one of 18th century british volumes. This is a post-mortem analysis (no pun intended) of a dozen murders, some of them very famous. Includes an excellent chapter on the Lindbergh kidnapping case.
A collection of true-life murder stories, this book is okay. Most of the stories are well-known and have been thoroughly covered by other sources: the Lindbergh Baby, Hare and Burns, etc. Started off well when I didn't know the stories but eventually got a little boring.
