Murders Strange But True

Description for MURDERS STRANGE BUT TRUE by Max Haines:

In these seventy-two well-executed tales of arresting intrigue and deadly deception, Max Haines offers up a feast of true crime fare. From a modern-day Greek tragedy complete with murderous mother-in-law and backyard bonfire, to lesbian lovers who would allow nothing---and nobody---to stand in the way of their affection, this is a fascinating compendium of some of the strangest murders imaginable. We meet the killer who drilled the dentist, and consider what it is that leads so many unsavoury types to develop an affinity for bathtubs, or to send unwanted bodies to Newfoundland.

From terror in a small town to the hitchhiker from hell, MURDERS STRANGE BUT TRUE is a spine-tingling bedside companion and a haunting reminder that truth is definitely stranger than fiction.
