lalanier's review against another edition

Just one of those for the hell of it reads out of curiosity. I felt the story was mostly well researched, but I found the writing style just okay and didn't age that well. In some ways it felt like reading a reality show, it was very messy, though I did learn some things about "carny life," back then.

A read best suited for the true crime fanatic - for me it was a bit too heavy on the details and didn't have the narrative flow that I would have liked. But, it does dive into a world that most people don't have access to, which is always a plus for nonfiction.
I received an E-ARC from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

A very interesting case history of the life of Grady Stiles, Jr. and his murder. This book does a wonderful job of casting these people in a very human light, even if overall the story is a bit trashy in spots, and explains why those involved thought it was necessary to have him killed.
