This was a very thoroughly researched book on the life and crimes of serial
killer Stewart Northcott. I appreciated every drop of information in it.
The prose was not very strong and at times there was information overload
that could have been pushed to footnotes, appendix and the like. Still I
really enjoyed the book and recommend it.

Actual account of the Northcott case from 1928. I found it to be well written and easy to understand. It pretty much parallels the other book, The Road Out of Hell, by Jerry Clark. Clark's book is 2nd generation testimony from his father Sanford Clark who was actually living on the ranch at the time. This book covers actual evidence and court records and other documentation. The ranch house is still standing today and that makes it more compelling to read about.
