I know about Brown’s Chicken due to knowing people that live in Chicago. They go to the establishment a lot. I was intrigued when I saw the arc available and requested it. I am glad I did. Because I know of a lot of places and towns mentioned in the book, it made the book that much more enjoyable to read. I began this book and was quickly drawn in. From page one, the writing was enough to make me not want to put this book down, It flowed very well with a little history about Brown’s Chicken and how it came to be, as well as the people associated with the establishment that were murdered. It also gives you insight into the people who did the crime and their actions after as well as people they associated with. Very good read and really keeps your attention. Anyone who likes/loves true crime, this is the book for you. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC of this book, Receiving the book in this manner, had no bearing on this review.

I received a copy for review. All opinions are my own. This is a perfect example of what an honorable true crime book should be. Rather than glorify the parts of a crime that can traumatize those affected by it, the author chose to cover a lot about the victims and the pursuit of justice. This was one of the most respectful true crime books I have ever read and I read A LOT of them. I had heard briefly of the tragedy at Brown’s Chicken but now I know so much more. The details of the investigation and journey to get justice for the victims was covered so well. This was not a book that left me confused and bored by detail at all.
