*STARRED REVIEW*
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"In this excellent work of true crime.... Hortis's fastidious historical detail makes the episode come to life, and he successfully evokes contemporary tabloid scandals like the Amanda Knox trial without stretching the point too far. Fans of Daniel Stashower will love this."
KIRKUS REVIEWS
"Hortis has combed the archives for material related to Bodine's three explosive trials... he makes palpable the shameful character assassination and 'slut-shaming' that Bodine endured. A lively history of early New York through one woman's horrendous ordeal."
