Book Rating

I received a copy of Murder From Scratch from Netgalley and the publisher.

I really enjoyed this book. My main issue is that all the food talk made me so hungry and as "issues" go that's not bad at all!

I really appreciate the writing of Evelyn. She's actually written as an adult with interests and not as a tall child who brings light to able-bodied folx.

I liked the mystery a lot. The way it was set up as an "obvious" suicide but a family member knows what's up? Definitely my thing!

A fun time, once it gets going

A comedy/mystery in the vein of Clue or Murder By Death, this film takes a while to get going. The jokes at the beginning are few & weak, but as it goes on, they get more plentiful & funnier. I found myself laughing out loud more than a few times. Everyone in the film is great & those who hate Adam Sandler will find him tolerable. The story is well enough & there's a pretty damn good car chase too. It's worth a watch once, maybe twice.

This is the quintessential book about Ted Bundy, written by a former co-worker and friend. Ann Rule worked one of the later shifts at a suicide hotline, next to Ted. Rule was working with the police and everything to try to crack the Bundy murder cases. The book covers the motivation/what caused this to happen, i.e., an interesting childhood, rejection by women, etc. She was reserving judgment and thought of him as innocent for a while, which is very interesting to read about.
This is definitely a true crime book worth reading.
