A review by stormlightreader
Deviant by Harold Schechter

4.0

A quick and easy to read true crime book which gives you a good overview of the community in rural Wisconsin, before, during, and after Ed Gein’s crimes. I found myself appreciating how well Schechter introduces the reader to the surroundings and the people of Wisconsin. However, when it comes to writing about Gein, Schechter is straight to the point and does not embellish. This book has been on my true crime TBR for a while and it didn’t disappoint.
