The Corpsewood Manor Murders in North Georgia by Amy Petulla

3.0

I first heard of the Corpsewood Manor Murders through this book and I won't deny that I was drawn in by the macabre nature of it all. Two men who were lovers in a time when it wasn't considered "right" for same sex couples to be together, practicing Satanists in a heavily religious South, were murdered in their own home. The culprits blamed the men, they blamed drugs, they blamed everything but themselves for the murders.

Amy Petulla lays out a very factual recollection of the crime. If you're a true crime buff who likes having a straightforward view of what happened, then this is the book for you. As for me? I like it more when my non-fiction reads like fiction, so the book got bogged down in a couple chapters for me, but I liked it.

If you've never heard of Corpsewood Manor or the murders that happened there, it's definitely worth a look.
