About this ebook
Murder leaves no decade unscarred. In 1903, the lieutenant governor of South Carolina shot dead a local newspaper editor, in full view of witnesses. In 1944, George Stinney was marched to the electric chair, at age fourteen. In 1994, a mother made national news pleading for the return of her kidnapped sons, when in truth she had driven them to a watery grave herself. Jones spares no chilling detail in describing each of these crimes; all make for fascinating, and terrifying, reading.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Meh. This was okay, and certainly enlightened me to just how violent South Carolina was during the early 1900s, but it didn't go into very much detail. Each case write-up was only a few pages long. I wish it had been more in-depth.
