Gary Sosniecki delivers an intriguing true crime book that is close to his heart--the murder of his great-grandmother. Putting aside his personal connection, Sosniecki shows the ramifications of the murder in the context of the era. Family secrets, domestic abuse, and toxic jealousy are issues that continue to haunt society. --Oline Cogdill, national award-winning book critic and recipient of the 2013 Raven Award from the Mystery Writers of America Exposing the long-buried secrets of his great-grandmother's brutal murder, Gary Sosniecki has written a fascinating and compelling account of obsession, vulnerability, and long-ago societal norms that ignored domestic violence often with deadly results. A must read for true crime lovers. --Jane Simon Ammeson, author of A Jazz Age Murder in Northwest Indiana: The Tragic Betrayal of Nettie Diamond Anyone interested in the investigative methods and court proceedings of an earlier period should find this book fascinating. Sosniecki often pauses in his narrative to comment on an aspect of the case that would shock anyone familiar with modern-day investigative techniques. --James Jessen Badal, author of Hell's Wasteland: The Pennsylvania Torso Murders
