The Yellow Lantern: True Colors: Historical Stories of American Crime (Review)
My Review
True crime has always fascinated me although I don't get a chance
to read it as much as I used to.
This series of books Barbour has out, True Colors: Historical Stories of American Crime fascinates me and each story in
the series is based off of a truth. This story really fascinated me in the sense it's different than most stories I read in it's topic coverage. It deals with grave robbers, how's that for putting it out there?
I love historical stories, they are my favorite but I do love reading topics that are not widely covered and this is right up my alley. I am hoping to read more nonfiction books soon to better
my understanding of this. I look forward to reading more books by this author soon!
Published August 1st 2019 by Barbour Books. I was given a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own.
