The Curse: A Shocking True Story of Superstition, Human Sacrifice and Cannibalism by Ryan Green
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I had my doubts when I saw the run time under four hours, but Green's efficient economy makes an engaging and complete story of one unique woman's life from being born of rape to soapmaker 'wise woman' (my phrase) to serial killer and foiled necromancer. After this and The Monster of Florence I wonder what other prolific criminals from Italy await book length analysis.
