a fun pairing is to read this comic and then watch the old joan collins movie "the girl in the red velvet swing." highly enjoyable!

Another piece of American History/True Crime I knew nothing about and Rick Geary has once again enlightened me. Even though you know exactly who committed the crime from the first few pages, Geary does a great job letting the facts of each person's life unfold in three chapters and then bringing it all together at the end.

And, as usual, you find the more things change, the more they really stay the same. Everything in this book could happen today.

I LOVE Rick Geary's Treasury of XXth Century Murder and Treasury of Victorian Murder series. His line work is so beautiful, clear, and simple.

This is another solid addition to the series. A lot of these cases were unsolveable unless someone was caught in the act. In this instance he was! And he still didn't spend that much time in jail! This one was interesting because Geary chronicles the events leading up to the murder really well, and because the people involved were quite famous.

A straight-forward retelling of the "Crime of the Century" as it was called in E.L. Doctorow's "Ragtime". Learned a lot more than I had from Doctorow's book and musical. Neither Thaw nor White were men you would want anywhere near your daughter, wife, or any other female.
