An outstanding book. The book is well illustrated and the stories are well done and intriguing. I really enjoyed the way the author brought the characters to life and told their story. I found this book hard to put down. A great read for the true crime fans!

Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Okay so I absolutely loved this book! I kinda figured that I was going to because I love both historical true crime and short stories so a book that combines both was pretty much a guaranteed win. I really enjoyed all the stories that were included and the way that the author gave you all the details you need without going too in depth, which leaves room for the reader to get a glimpse at the stories and to pick the ones that they want to learn more about.

(I plan on looking into all of these in the future because they were all fascinating)

I had heard of some of these stories but it was still nice to get a refresher and to see where they fit into the grand scheme of things. The stories hit all the main points and paint a really vivid picture of both the time and the people involved. It’s always fascinating to read about historical true crime and the punishments that were doled out for what now seems like petty crimes.

The only actual issue that I have with this book is a very tiny thing, but if we’re being honest it pisses me off to no end and kind of makes me question some other things. There’s a small mention of Jack the Ripper and when talking his victims the author refers to them as prostitutes when this is proven to be false and I think it’s a dangerous assumption to continue making.

I absolutely love true crime and this book was no exception. I loved the look into crimes I knew nothing or very little about. These stories were gruesome and disgusting which I loved.

I love this book about true crime stories. As a true crime connoisseur, the best ones are covered here. This will be extremely interesting to all readers.

Interesting stories and written well. Even though most of the stories I've read before, it's a book well worth a read anyway. It was a nice way to spend the short time it took me to read.
