Caitlin Rother - Love Gone Wrong (True Crime Box Set, Notorious USA)

PRAISE
FOR CAITLIN ROTHERS TRUE CRIME BOOKS,
STARTING WITH HER LATEST,

A COMPLICATED WOMAN,
also from the NOTORIOUS USA series:

Rother is recognized as an exhaustive, painstaking researcher of her topics and A Complicated Woman exemplifies that work ethic. Her presentation in historical order of the lives and crimes of three killers, set against the backdrop of the time periods in which they committed their crimes, is fascinating and thought-provoking. In true Rother style, A Complicated Woman evokes far more questions than it answers about the thought processes of those murderers, the progress and status of race relations in 2016 America, conditions of incarceration, and, of course, the efficacy of capital punishment.

BODY PARTS

I couldnt put this excellent book down It should reach the gore market, despite her protestations that it is not aimed in that direction, but it is also ideal for the law enforcement, criminal law, and aberrant-psychology markets Because it is so well researched (she spent days interviewing major characters) and so well written, it should also reach those interested in good journalism.
