Prairie Murders: The True Story of Three Murders and the Loss of Innocence in A Small North Dakota Town

Description

It was the safest state in America, where a single murder in a year was the usual. People there descended from hearty settlers who had withstood a challenging life by cooperating. When a growing young town with recently paved streets was struck by annual murders for three consecutive years, something had changed. Each crime was more violent and heinous than its predecessor, beginning when one of the town’s favorites, a personable high school cheerleader, was murdered in her family’s home in a sex-related attack. Within months came the bloody bludgeoning to death of a young mother in her own home. As one homicide was prosecuted and investigation moved forward on the second, a young man’s body was found bisected, with the halves floating in bags in a river.

Summary: "not worth it!!!!"

I am an avid reader of true crime and other non-fiction writings, but I must say, that this is the most frustrating, and difficult book I have ever read!!!The grammar was atrocious, the spelling errors were numerous, the characters were confusing as the author kept skipping around and I had to keep returning to previous pages read to refresh my memory as to who was who and who did what, and the "plot" was hard to follow. I do not know if this was MR. Dodge's first attempt at writing anything, and unfortunately I do not care at this point, readers I would steer clear of this book and maybe others authored by Robert Dodge.
