´Blonde Rattlesnake´ is a fun and engaging crime story, written well and easy to become immersed in. It intimately captures the terror and chaos caused by Burmah Arline Adams White, 19, and her husband, 28 year old, Thomas White. Their crime spree across Los Angeles during the summer of 1933, committing robberies at gunpoint; one that left a woman blind, and many others hurt, was headline news. Named the ´Rattlesnake Bandit´, they evaded the police for 6 weeks before Thomas was shot and killed and Burmah was taken into custody. The details and memories of this crime are included, with testimony and B&W photos. Burmah was sentenced to 30 years at San Quentin, served 8 and was released into obscurity, until her death in the 1960ś of alcoholism. Her life and past are so different than her legacy and was interesting and captivating to read.
Thanks to the publisher for sending me this e-book ARC fro review.
