More About Speaking Ill of the Dead: Jerks in Connecticut History
Full disclosure: I'm the author's brother-in-law. But a big part of what I liked about this book is that I got to read the output of all his interesting research.Every time I visited him, I saw him researching yet another interesting person I never heard of before. He had books about a domestic terrorist who planted bombs around NYC... Despite spending most of my life there, I was amazed that I'd never heard of some of these infamous Connecticut residents before! Although I'd say that "jerk" isn't the right word for some of them. Mentally ill sociopaths, maybe. A very interesting read, especially if you're also from CT.
