dark informative sad tense medium-paced

Really well-researched and informative. I couldn't believe some of the stuff I was reading. Every person, criminal to law enforcement, was more incompetent than the last. It seems like every other page has a story like, "The Barrow Gang needed some breakfast, so Clyde stole 4 Ford V-8s on the way to the diner in a neighboring town. Unfortunately, he ended up in a shootout, took two police officers prisoner after killing a third, and drove 700 miles straight, passing through Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, back to Arkansas, over to Texas, to pick Bonnie back up where he had left her. He had forgotten to get breakfast, so went back to the diner, but the cops were still nearby, so he hid in a small bush for four days and evaded capture." The 1930s were a wild time.
