Close to Shore: A True Story of Terror in an Age of Innocence by Michael Capuzzo

4.0

An interesting account of the shark (or sharks?) that terrorized the coast of New Jersey over the course of a couple weeks in 1916. While obviously, there is no way to fully confirm the exact movements of the shark in question, this book is well done. There was some back history into the then fledgling science of the study of sharks, and fish in general that I found interesting. The writing was straightforward and easy, but also full of information. Certainly a different spin on what many consider a "summer beach read."
