Summary:
"In the United States, it is a fact that victims of murder are more likely to be killed by someone they know than by a stranger. Family, Friends, and Neighbors discusses the cases, main players, and consequences of 34 murderous rampages dating from the Victorian Era to the present day. From famous cases such as the ax-wielding Lizzie Borden and the money-obsessed Menendez brothers to lesser-known but still gruesome crimes committed by crazy, desperate, vengeful, or simply brutal monsters, this well-researched book explains just what happened, why it happened (when possible), and whether or not the criminals were caught"-- Provided by publisher.
