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.

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.
