Dorothea Puente's life, crimes, detection of the crimes and her trial for nine murders. She was convicted of only three due to one stubborn juror. Author William P. Wood successfully prosecuted Dorothea Montalvo Puente, a serial killer, for lesser crimes years before the murders occurred. In his book, Mr. Woods openly second guesses himself and others as he chronicles the life and misdeeds of Mrs. Puente. The story is well written in an almost conversational fashion. Refreshingly for this reader, few pages are devoted to the trial itself. The most poignant lesson of the life of gracious and grandmotherly Dorothea Puente is that looks can be deceiving. If you are intrigued by serial killers or true crime stories, this is an excellent book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"The chilling true story of a female serial killer; She looked like everyone's grandmother; white-haired, plump, bespectacled, and kindly. Only Dorothea Montalvo Puente's eyes, black and hard behind her glasses, hinted at the evil that lurked within. She was the rarest of murderers, a female serial killer--probably the most cold-blooded ever recorded in the annals of crime. This shocking story of the gruesome murder of seven men for profit was written by William Wood, the Deputy D.A. who had earlier prosecuted Puente for drugging and robbing elderly people. He knew intimately the malice that coursed through her veins, and thought he had seen the last of this callous and calculating woman. But her chameleon-like deviousness helped her reappear as a sweet, benevolent landlord--and later allowed her to escape police custody as they stood in her yard surrounded by the gaping graves. The Bone Garden chronicles the discoveries that ignited a media firestorm and transfixed a nation, and put an entirely new face on evil in this country"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
