lots of information, but it was a grisly read... not for the faint of heart.

Saw an ad for this series of short true crime stories on Amazon and thought I'd give it a try. This one involved pedophilia, rape, and murder so it's not easy to read about the details. This book looked at how several crimes within a six month period in 1937 and the resulting reactions helped to create a nationwide panic.

This book covers a range of child rape and murder cases that took place in America during the Depression.
This was a very hard read due to the disturbing subject matter. The author handled it well. This seemed a little different to the other books in the series as it leapt between different cases in a more disjointed fashion.

Thoroughly captivating
It was hard to put this down! I already knew all of the cases written about, but this was so well written and included a very thought-provoking epilogue.
