Starkweather: The Untold Story of the Killing Spree that Changed America by Harry N. MacLean
35lauriemb's review against another edition
3.0
Fairly well written and informative in early part of story. The author goes on to re-hash what will never be factually known, putting his now slant on what may or may not have happened.

Interesting story but the writing is drawn out. I agree with the author in his points and I think they were important and I know he was trying to show evidence to support but it did make for dry and slow reading

A fantastic extraordinarily dense account of the 1950s Charles Starkweather murders from a solid true crime writer/investigator who actually has ties to the Lincoln, Nebraska area. This will clearly be the definitive work following the Showtime documentary about the killing spree, The 12th Victim. It does run very long and is very exhaustive and dense. No stone is left unturned and I recommend it.
