Somehow I ended up with another book about an unsolved mystery! Argh!

These murders were horrific. It amazing to me that even with the limited forensics (or complete lack of) that no one was caught. So many times he was right there when a passerby or family member came upon the bodies and yet still, no one had any idea who the killer could be.

So much history about Austin (ugh history), but it was all interesting. Especially the sort of Keystone Cops sort of shenanigans that were going on in a situation that shouldn't have been handled by such incompetent people!
