A little slow in parts but an interesting and accurate historical mystery.

A solid, if slightly predictable entry in the "escaped from religious sect" genre.

More 'academic' than Fun Home (lots of musings on the nature of the self, psychology etc. ) but still really wonderful.

Everything I like in a book - historical fiction, mystery, plucky heroine, and everything ends with a neat-ish bow.

Interesting meditations on the performance aspect of grief.

Fun new update on the classic. Love the new art!

Couldn't put it down! Examines the many threads of a complex issue with ease.

A must-read if you're interested in 20th century exploration.

Interesting and important but a bit dry.

Alright but the issues raised about community and care for those with disabilities were unresolved.

The perfect blend of historical accuracy and mystery thriller.

Too short! Could also be titled 'Schadenfreude is bad and you should feel bad.'

As with many true crime books, the motives behind the crimes remain unclear making for a less than satisfying read.

You'll want to be best friends with both Marys by the end of the book. I would sooooo watch a biopic of either of these badass ladies.

The irony that I, a slightly curmudgeonly librarian, did not really care for this book about a curmudgeonly book store owner is not lost on me.

Great story of overcoming a difficult childhood. Audiobook is narrated by the author, complete with authentic Long Island accent.

Interesting stuff. Like a lot of non-fiction books by journalists it may have been better suited to a series of articles.

Kind of a deus ex machina ending but okay if you like plot driven stuff.
