Kentucky Bloodbath: Ten Bizarre Tales of Murder from the Bluegrass State by Kevin M. Sullivan

kimmis_bookshelf's review

I don't typically give star ratings to books such as these. I will say the writing was a bit underwhelming, very copy and paste from the newspaper vibes. But the cases were interesting and I hadn't heard of a single one of these until reading this book. Definitely a quick read, easily able to finish in a day or two. Worth a read, especially if you're from KY and into true crime cases from here.

I had heard of a few cases from this book, but not all of them. I was really interested each of the cases, the material presented, and how the author was able link it all without losing the interest of the reader.
There are ten cases presented in this book, and each of them build on the gruesome and grotesque as they progress through the book. I also liked the bit of psychological breakdown that the author gives on the perpetrator of the crimes, and what might have motivated the crime as well.

For those who love true crime, I highly recommend this book!

let me begin this by saying that the voice fit the stories perfectly. it was a factual journalist tone and I kept picturing him as a news anchor.
I can't believe so many atrocities have happened so close to where I live. humans are the worst monsters

2.5 stars. OK - I just didn't think they were that "bizarre" as murders go.
