## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding research and presentation.
*by V***E on April 14, 2024*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Murder Most Foul - And True - Read it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A worthwhile book despite grade school editing
*by J***K on November 15, 2015*

A fascinating book that reveals the extent of mob-related murders in Chicago. However, some serious editing should have been done before publication. The poor use of punctuation and occasionally weird sentence construction forced me to read some entries a couple of times to understand them. There's also an entry that's so obviously wrong that I can't imagine how it got into the book. On page 203, referring to the arrests of Carl Austin Hall and Bonnie Brown [Heady] for the kidnapping/murder of Bobby Greenlease, he wrote, "The results of the prosecution are unknown". It's fairly well known that they were executed.
