Midnight Assassin: A Murder in America's Heartland by Patricia L. Bryan, Thomas Wolf

3.0

The story of Margaret Hossack is a good one, but this book about that story could have been better. The book contains lengthy quotes from trial transcripts; I would have appreciated fewer direct quotes and more synthesized narrative. Still, it provides a pretty interesting glimpse into domestic rural life at the turn of the twentieth century.
