 Book 'Em Archives: Crime Magazine's Review of True-Crime Books 2004 by Anneli Rufus
The Encyclopedia of Mass Murder, by Brian Lane and Wilfred Gregg (Carroll and Graf, 2004): Delivering exactly what its title promises, with no frills — unless you count a passel of photographs, including pictures of corpses — the authors provide capsule accounts of over 200 mostly famous cases from around the world.
Familiar entries include Richard Speck and the Columbine High School massacre, but stories of bloody multi-victim crimes in Japan, India, and tiny English villages widen the true-crime horizon.
FBI's Ten Most Wanted, by Dary Matera (Harper Torch, 2003): A book such as this one — telling "the chilling stories behind the FBI's historic list of notorious criminals," as its cover-blurb promises — is bound to be rendered out-of-date sooner or later.
