Some of us who like murder mysteries really gravitate towards true crime stories.
Above the a link for those of us who do - two of my personal favorites are on this list - Devil in the White City, which takes place during the Chicago Exposition of 1893 and Leopold and Loeb: Crime of the Century. Aside from the fact that they both take place in my favorite place after my Rocky Mountain paradise - Chicago - they're just eye-popping reads. You won't put them down.
What are your favorite true crime books?
Find out and talk about medieval history, Sicily and the Mediterranean during the Crusades, food and culture, what did medieval people eat and drink (our sleuth is a tavern owner, after all!!) and what about money and trade? Spices and what about the streets of a medieval town after dark? And what about the women in medieval Sicily? What did they wear, eat, drink and how did they get married (or not)?
