Murders in the United States : Crimes, Killers and Victims of the Twentieth Century
Rating: 2.5
I might've given this a higher rating if not for the fact that it repeats a lot of the cases. I think that's why the book has any bulk whatsoever. The author gives a paragraph or so description for each murder. The book is organized by decades then it's broken into child killers, serial killers, etc. but it's all the same material after you read about the decades. He takes what he'd just written and put it into the other categories.
