"There is much to praise. ... an excellent resource, and is recommended."— American Reference Books"There are many true-crime compilations from which to choose, but a stronger focus on movies and how they have altered the legends may make this [book] worth purchasing. It's likely to be a hit ."— Library Journal"Written in an informal style . . . this "encyclopedia" offers a rogue's gallery of famous US killings, killers, and other scoundrels."— Book News"Shaping Public Perception. Mayo's breezy and often-irreverent style sheds some fascinating light on events about which we think we know, and subjects ranging from outlaws and mobsters to serial killers. Despite its grim subject matter, it's a fun read."— The Roanoke Times
