The Man from the Train: The Solving of a Century-Old Serial Killer Mystery by Bill James, Rachel McCarthy James
5.0
There are a couple of things that I absolutely will carry with me forever:
- that the Villasca murders happened in the same approximate place and time as The Music Man
- that one story with the ventriloquist and a mule
- that the author just started calling the man from the train a "vile little man" at some point
this is how I want all true crime books to be written, thanks everyone
(also, everyone go listen to that John Mulaney bit about old timey murders because Jesus that was too accurate).
