Heinous: Forgotten Murders From the 1910s

Melina Druga's book “Heinous: Forgotten Murders From the 1910s” is a fascinating anthology of lesser-known true crime stories curated from the back pages of dusty old newspapers. The author's research skills are second only to her storytelling ability. The first chapter, which offers an overview of crime in general during the Edwardian era and Great War, is an excellent overview. I especially appreciated the fact the author included a bibliography to appeal to academic audiences. They really did their homework, and as a result, the stories of these victims will not be forgotten. An outstanding read.
