A review by thegracefulbibliophile
Dannemora: Two Escaped Killers, Three Weeks of Terror, and the Largest Manhunt Ever in New York State by Charles A. Gardner

3.0

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own. I remember when this event happened, and while I don't live in the area, I still found it interesting to read about. The author of this book has experience as a prison guard from the area but didn't work in this prison when this particular event happened. I was hooked from the beginning and was very engaged in reading about how the two criminals managed to escape from this prison in such a way that they were not caught - and how they were able to get someone one the inside to help them along the way! However, as the book went on, I found that the author seemed to be inserting his own experiences into the book in ways that I didn't feel were necessary and didn't seem to help tell this story.
