Books like Bothersome bodies by Max Haines


A thrilling true crime tale of a plane crash that led to the discovery of a wealthy philanthropist's gruesome past, which included the deaths of 44 innocent passengers. The story then delves into the case of a trio of sadistic killers who committed a series of 27 murders, including 17 victims buried in the surrounding neighborhood. The killers were found after torturing and slaying each other, and the investigation into their motives and methods is one of the grizzliest episodes recounted in this exposé.
