This little book left me longing for more. It's a great collection of crimes in the state of Pennsylvania. Martinelli has an easy writing style that sucks the reader in and leaves you wanting more. In fact, when I was finished with this book, I looked up her other books. I suppose even more than the book itself, I enjoyed the writing style.

True Crime is the best. I love this genre and I also love the I.D. Channel on TV. My favorite shows, Killer Kids, Women Who Kill, and Who the Bleep Did I Marry.

Most of the stories I am familiar with, especially those that took place in/around Philadelphia. Then there are a few that are new to me. It's still good reading about them, including those I am already familiar with.
