A review for the nonfiction book Hell’s Half-Acre by Susan Jonusas. This book is about a small family in Kansas in the late 1800’s who murdered 11 people just so they could steal their few possessions. This story focuses mainly on how their murders were discovered and the people who tried to track them down and bring them to justice.
