Hard to follow
This was a free book and the title intrigued me. I love the True Crime genre but this guy is no Ann Rule. The constant framing device of what the crops were doing got on my nerves and could have been much shorter. Also, the chronology of the events and the ever-expanding cast of characters was extremely hard to follow. I would very much have appreciated maps of the surrounding area since much of the events happened within a range of several towns, all of them described as places 'unto themselves'.Many reviews of this book tend to take glorify the deed of the anonymous killers and at least the author did not take sides one way or the other but tried to get readers to think about the consequentces of taking the law into one's own hands, no matter how lawyers, judges and ridiculous ancient laws work against you.
