This is a must read book for all true crime novel enthusiasts. The time is the 1920's and it proves that there is "nothing new under the sun". Lust, greed, and murder for money has been around for a long time. The only difference is: These people were executed quickly.

Boring..boring..boring. And I'll say it again. Boring!! To reiterate..this had to be the most boring true crime book I have ever read in my life.

It was repetitive, over and over, the same facts were told till I was about ready to pull my hair out! Kind of like my first paragraph on this review!

Unless you are in the mood to be tortured don't pick this book up. I can tell you right now, Ruth and Judd planned the murder, they committed the murder and they were executed for the murder...end of story. Took me one sentence not a whole boring and dull book to say it. It's a testiment to my stubborness that I even finished this book. Ugh.
