[Terri Stokes · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book has been on my bookshelves for years now and I found that it wasn't what as I was expecting at all. I thought that it would focus more on a couple of killers over the years and go in to detail of their crimes and chargers, instead, I found that each part was more just the brief main facts of the case or about the person and not what was printed in the newspapers at the time as some parts just read like an news article and doesn't tell you much.
