Dannemora: Two Escaped Killers, Three Weeks of Terror, and the Largest Manhunt Ever in New York State by Charles A. Gardner
4.0
RATING: 4 STARS
(Review Not on Blog)
I first heard about the escape in Dannemora on a true crime show and was interested in knowing more about the case. This was a well-written and researched book. It outlines the timeline and also the history of the town and prison. It was a quick read for me as the story was engaging as a novel. I did read another book on the topic [b:Wild Escape: The Prison Break from Dannemora and the Manhunt that Captured America|37536702|Wild Escape The Prison Break from Dannemora and the Manhunt that Captured America|Chelsia Rose Marcius|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1513281326l/37536702._SY75_.jpg|59137752] and found it very dry. I was hoping to watch the mini-series Dannemora but couldn't get into after reading Wild Escape. I need a bit of a distance before trying the mini-series again.
