Oh, another title read from the library in the last couple of years: 'Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI' (how people in power took from the Osage Native Americans) by David Grann.
I'll have to see if the library has it.
One really great book that I read back in the 70s from the library: 'The Scalpel of Scotland Yard, The Life of Sir Bernard Spilsbury' who was the forensic scientist involved in proving that it was Mrs. Crippen buried in the cellar and many other murders of the time. There is a good write up on him on Wikipedia. He was CSI before his time, and very Sherlockian for real. So, if you ever see it when you are out, buy it for your collection if it is affordable.
That sounds really great! I will totally keep my eye out for it!
@@TooFondofBooksJH There is a nice photo of the cover on Goodreads.
@@thestudiointhelibrary1387 I just looked at it and it looks really interesting. I am definitely going to keep my eye out for this book!
Also, I'm not sure what's going on with your other comments. I can see them in notifications but they are not showing up in the comments section. Sorry, I'm not sure how to fix that.
@@TooFondofBooksJH I don't know why, but it kept saying that there was a problem of loading my comment. I tried four times. It was about a title of a true crime book that took play in the 30s in my home town that I have on my shelf.
Three great true crime books that I recently read from the library are: Mrs. Sherlock Holmes by Brad Ricca (a cold crime in historic New York), The Midnight Assassin: Panic, Scandal, and the Hunt for America's First Serial Killer (in historic Austin, Texas) by Skip Hollandsworth, and I'll be Gone in the Dark: One Women's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer' by Michelle McNamara (the woman obsessed). Once the library reopens I want to read: 'The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper' because this is their story and not his.
I'd like to read I'll Be Gone in the Dark. I've heard good things about it. I am also very interested in reading The Five. As soon as the libraries open again...
The first true crime book I read was in high school and it was about Charles Manson....yeah, yikes. From then on, if it has to do with celebrities, hippies, or cults I'm in lol. Your tastes are a little more refined!!
I don't know about more refined! Haha! Was it Helter Skelter?
Yup!
