It was confusing- especially as certain people initially appeared to be helping, bu were in fact part of the crime.

Sometimes it seemed like he mentioned someone just because he’d looked them up in his research, not because they advanced the story (for example, Pinkerton, the detective, who wasn’t involved in these cases). I think a list of folks involved, and an index, would have been helpful.

I do think it is important for people to know about these parts of our history so I’m glad I read it and I hope others will too.

It is rough reading. There may have been some resolution of the murders, but the full extent of the crimes wasn’t determined for decades.

Your review, and especially the “reads like fiction” tag have convinced me I need to give it a try sometime. I’m not sure I’m in the right frame of mind for men in power behaving badly right now, but I’ll get there!
