Okay; I'm not a huge baseball fan. However, I know the author so I purchased this book as soon as it was published in 2020. I regret to say that it took me 3 years to decide I needed to read this. My loss!

This book is fantastic even for someone like me. Tom obviously did tons of research and includes a lot of statistics, but he also makes it interesting by developing the characters, creating suspense, foreshadowing, antagonism, and adding all the other elements of a good story! I had no idea about most of the information included in this narrative.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book and even told my husband we now need to include Cooperstown on a future trip!

Fasciinating! I live only 12 miles away and had not heard of this murder before and the book swept me away. What a horrific life most women of this period lived. I have my own thoughts as to who the murder was but we may never know for sure.

A historical true crime set in America's heartland. A man is killed in the middle of the night and the only person there is his wife. Did she do it? This case is the basis for the play "A Jury of Her Peers".

The story of a true crime mystery that began in 1900 when an Iowa farmer is murdered in his bed while his wife sleeps beside him and his children are asleep in the house. His wife quickly becomes the prime suspect and the book covers both of her murder trials. It's very well researched and I liked how the authors began each chapter with quotes from the local papers of the day. Susan Glaspell, a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, was one of the journalists reporting on the story and her play, Trifles, was based on the case.

Not just a taut courtroom drama but also a fascinating study of rural life and that society's attitude toward women at the turn of the century. And quite a page-turner!
