Hell's Half-Acre: The Untold Story of the Benders, a Serial Killer Family on the American Frontier by Susan Jonusas

informative medium-paced

4.0

As a Kansan, the Bender family is basically a folktale that everyone knows about. Perhaps not all of the right details, but still known. This book is the only one I've ever seen about the family that really takes a look at the facts and contemporary documents. Very well researched and fascinating to read.
