Entertaining Historical Nonfiction
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This is an entertaining and easy-to-read book on a fascinating case in Paris in 1944. Dr. Petiot, a former mayor and physician with almost Barnum & Bailey ringmaster overtones is put on trial for the murder of 27 people who were found, or should I say pieces of them were found, at one of his residences.The book, based on fact, covers the events and trial. The book is just the right length, not overstuffed with tedium and not so short you feel cheated of a real story. It's well-written and precise and strangely compelling.Was Dr. Petiot actually killing Nazis and french traitors as he claimed or was something else involved? It's a chilling episode within the context of one of the most important periods of our times.
