Death Sentence: The Inside Story of the John List Murders by Joe Sharkey

5.0

This book is a model for perfect true crime. The journalistic style favors brevity. There are no pointless speculations. The trial of John List was largely uneventful, so the author skims through it. You come away with a good understanding of John List and his motives. A throwaway line about List mowing the lawn while wearing a necktie reveals a lot about his personality. All in all, good book.
