The Kidnap Years: The Astonishing True History of the Forgotten Kidnapping Epidemic That Shook Depression-Era America by David Stout

5.0

It's not often that you can say that a book about kidnapping is an entertaining read, but this book is. I found this to be well researched & well written. The book has stories about many kidnappings but mainly focuses on the Lindbergh kidnapping, and references the repercussions of this in kidnappings that happen after. I liked how the author referred back to previous cases, and also described the progress of the Lindbergh case over months while other kidnappings had occurred. Well worth a read if you are interested in this era of history.

Thanks to Sourcebooks (non-fiction) & NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
