A meticulously researched, in depth look at Bonnie and Clyde, but also Bonnie and Clyde‘s legend and myth. I especially enjoyed the insights into the creation of the film. Great stuff.

Another page turner by Riley Sager. I was skeptical about how he would stick the landing, but he tied up everything nicely. And in a believable manner.

“You walk a path enough, you’ll wear a groove in it. The groove gets too deep, metaphorically speaking, it becomes difficult to walk anywhere else. Maybe that path is the one you’re meant to travel, and that’s why the groove is there in the first place.”
