Peckerwood Manor

Greetings Peckerwood Book Hors! Do you have any favorite true-crime novels? Do you love a good 'n' gory serial killer entry, like the classic " Deviant: The Shocking True Story Of Ed Gein " by Harold Schechter? Or an immersive, nail-biting historical tale, like " The Poisoners Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York " by Deborah Blum? There's no wrong answer, of course. And sheesh, there's so many to choose from in a book category rife with sloppy rush jobs (most of which read like dry, extended Wikipedia entries). But when they hit the sweet spot between credible accuracy and shocking, you-can't-make-that-up incidents, there's nothing like them. In fact, I prefer an excellent true-crime novel over an excellent true-crime movie or miniseries. They creep under my skin with more intensity, and stay with me much longer.  One of my favorite, newer true-crime novel's, " Provenance," by Laney Salisbury...
