Cold Serial
Cold Serial: The Jack The Strangler Murders | Brian Forschner
4 posts | 1 read
"Cold Serial" is narrative non-fiction that tells of five girls who were raped and murdered in Dayton, Ohio, and possibly victims in Cincinnati, Ohio, in the early 1900s. Their deaths left a legacy of better protection for the safety and rights of women, led to the annexation of large areas into what is now modern day Dayton, initiated restructuring of the Dayton Police department, led to the creation of the first chamber of commerce in the United States, and involved intriguing relationships with what is still a major United States company. These stories provide the background and lay the groundwork for understanding social issues facing women today, such as rape, assault, and discrimination, and the impact of religion, politics and the media. Telling their stories is doing the work of justice.

Mehso-so

A solid true crime pick describing events that took place in Ohio in the early 1900s. The pace flowed nicely, without too much time being spent bogged down in needless courtroom detail, and the fact that the reader like the detectives at the time did not know who the killer was until the very end made this for an exciting read. However the ending fell a bit flat due to the lack of a solid conclusion, something beyond just the facts of the case.

I got a copy of this book for free though a book club, and I really dig true crime... this is supposedly well written due to the author's personal connection to the victims. It's next on my list
