Certain crimes are viewed by some societies as such a violation of morality that they must be dealt with in the most severe terms. Death is the recommended consequence for the worst offenders of the sacred social compact that holds us all together.

This book takes a look at some of the most infamous death row cases in recent history. From mafia hitman Frank Abbandando’s reign of terror with Murder Inc. to the much more controversial case of Darlie Routier, who claims she was railroaded by an unfair justice system and charged with a crime she did not commit – this book examines a wide variety of high-profile death row cases.

Jack Smith is fascinated with true crime, specifically serial killers. After finishing his university degree in medicine, Jack continued to become a pathologist. He has traveled far and wide and has seen many cases in the thirty years. Jack started documenting some of the peculiarities in these cases to observe trends among crimes. From this early fascination with murderers, he decided to pursue this by writing about cases that he found most interesting both from a psychological point of view as well as the story behind the murders. He is from Maine and has since retired, allowing him to focus on his true crime research, which he documents in his books.

5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting selection
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2020

This book covers a selection of Death Row inmates and how they ended up there. It requires a particularly heinous crime to warrant a death sentence, and you will see that each one of these inmates deserved the privilege of sitting on Death Row.

You may be aware that some death penalty states such as Texas, Florida, and Arkansas, for example, follow through with carrying out the sentence, in spite of protesters, while others, such as California, rarely, if ever, put anyone to death; they just warehouse them until they die of old age.

Whatever your stance on the death penalty might be, I know that I don't have to worry that Ted Bundy will escape (again) and kill more young women.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting read.

A great read which I wished was longer. Could do with a little citing here and there but nothing that takes away from the stories. I look forward to reading the next book but definitely worth a quick read. Also lethal injection is actually 3 injections not 1 as it states towards the end of the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Short, but interesting
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2020

It's a short book, and has enough information to wet the true crime appetite, but not enough to sate it. I have read more in-depth accounts of two of the stories, but I still believe this was worth what I paid for it.

A decent book but a little short. It gave details of a random list of people who have been given the death penalty for their crimes in the US.

I like how Jack gives you an overview of each case and update at the end of each. I have read a few of his books and always find them to be very well researched and I was pleasantly surprised when he emailed an update to me on one of his other books so I didn’t have to buy the book again for the additional information
