My Review
This book featured stories that I had never heard of before. Although, with as many deaths that there are all over the US, it would be hard to know them all. What I was surprised is how many of the stories featured women as the ones that orchestrated the crimes.
Although, when you think about it, it actually might not be as surprising as this way the women don't have to actually have to get physical while allowing others to carry out the action for them.
Another reoccurring theme in these stories is that a lot featured "staged" robberies. The way that the police are able to identify that the robberies are just cover ups so fast is a testament to their skills. Another really good read from Jamie Malton.
