The Devil and Sherlock Holmes: Tales of Murder, Madness, and Obsession by David Grann

adventurous challenging dark mysterious medium-paced

I listened to the audiobook, and I did feel like sometimes each essay ended fairly abruptly, which made the beginning of the next essay pretty jarring each time. Sometimes I felt like the attempt to connect the essays was tenuous, and might have benefited with clearer introductions to each section. While some essays were riveting, others felt out of place based on theme (the sand hogs one, especially), and I truly don’t understand any attempts to humanize Toto Constant. The last essay just felt baffling and one-sided in a very weird way.
