*received for free from netgalley for honest review* pretty interesting read but wish there would have been just something more? never heard of this case so it was interesting to read this but wouldn't reread it.

I appreciate the publisher allowing me to read this book. An interesting and well written story I can't wait to read more about.

i really enjoyed reading this, this was a great true crime book. It was a case that I had never heard of before. I look forward to more from the author.

I found this book really fascinating, I enjoyed not just the odd mystery of what happened but the bit of insight into Norris's research process, I don't know that I've ever read a book that gave a peek into how much work goes into finding the story. It was well paced and interesting all the way through.

I don't know how or why but I found this to be one of the slowest - going and least interesting books about a fascinating mystery that I've ever encountered... I just could NOT get into this one, despite significant interest in the underlying subject matter. I knew of the mystery of Loewenstein's death prior to the book - it's why I requested it. It opened alright, jumping straight into things, but then meandered around in a way that just never grabbed and held my attention. I tried coming back to it a handful of times, and even tried skimming a bit to see if I just kept getting stuck in rough sections, but unfortunately just never found my way into this one and ultimately didn't finish...

I was not at all familiar with the subject of this book but nevertheless found it a fascinating read. The author clearly put a lot of passion into research and brought the era to life. At times the detail was a bit heavy going and made for slow progress but overall a really interesting read.
