Tuesday True Crime Reads Roundup - September 8
Wilder Intentions: Love, Lies and Murder in North Dakota is an intriguing true tale of small-town gossip, scandal, and murder. The author, CJ Wynn, is a native Minot, ND, so she can provide readers with an inside perspective that other authors can't. Youth pastor, law student, serial killer. Don Miller, the subject of Killing Women, is all three of those things. With Miller up for parole later this month, the release of this new book by Rod Sadler couldn't be timelier. The Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919 isn't just an odd chapter in American history, but it's also an example of deadly criminal negligence. What sets Stephen Puleo's excellent book apart is that it's the only book for adults written about the tragedy. Part memoir, part true-crime tale, The Book of Atlantis Black explores truth, justice, and family dynamics. Betsey Bonner pays tribute to her sister Atlantis without shying away from her flaws and foibles.
