Review: Pure Murder

Pure Murder Pure Murder by Corey Mitchell
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I read a lot of true crime and the angle on the story always seems to be something exceptional: exceptionally cruel, a large number of victims, an exceptionally famous victim, etc. The remarkable thing about these heinous crimes and their perpetrators is the banality of it all: Act I: teen hoodlums caught at increasingly criminal acts without repercussions and coming wayward from dysfunctional homes; Act II: Teen girls encounter the unruly boys whose unwanted attentions turn to rape and murder; Act III: Despite murder convictions, a largely slow, and perpetrator-focused legal systems leads to delayed or canceled executions.

The descriptions of the actual, homicidal crimes and the crime scene investigation and particularly lurid and detailed.
