Query: A study in history and of murder

Fascinating! Not having read anything else by Mr. Larsen, I approached this book without any preconceived notions as to what I might expect. It was not only a history lesson -- extremely well written and interesting -- but a study into the mind and actions of a serial killer. I would whole-heartedly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys history with a twist of intrigue. Mr. Larsen presents the material in such a manner as to take you right into the lives of all involved -- right to the very last sentence.
