Starvation Heights: A True Story of Murder and Malice in the Woods of the Pacific Northwest by Gregg Olsen
Starvation Heights: A True Story of Murder and Malice in the Woods of the Pacific Northwest

Flying Reader, May 2, 2009

Picked up this book at the airport Powells prior to a long series of flights. It turned out to be an excellent true crime story. Well researched and well written, the book captures your attention and holds it to the very end. I had never read anything by Mr. Olsen before, but rest assured that I will go back for more. In addition to the story itself of the murder of a young English woman in the Puget Sound area, it provides an excellent glimpse of life and culture of the Puget Sound area in the early 1900's. This book is well worth the time.
