My Review

Another great collection of stories. Although sadly a lot of the ones featured in this collection involved young children. Many innocent lives were taken as tragic casualties. There are a few stories that I briefly remember hearing about when they were first broadcast in the media news. One was about WWE wrestler Chris Benoit. 

"The Man They Called Uncle" is a very disturbing story. There is a note that this crime that took place back in 1977 was the deadliest in Connecticut history until Sandy Hook in 2012.

"The Great Falls" story is heinous. Although while the crimes that Nathaniel Bar-Jonah committed are horrible, it is the fact that the judges left him off on lesser charges the first several times that really puzzles me. So many victims that were lost due to Nathaniel only getting a slap on the wrist until he was caught and his eventual death.
