The Man in the Monster

I received an advanced e-galley of this book through the Penguin Books First to Read Program. I did not know anything about Michael Ross before receiving this book, but I found his story very fascinating. Martha Elliott spent 10 years corresponding and meeting with Michael to learn why, after receiving a reprieve from the Connecticutt State Supreme Court, why he would voluntarily choose to be put to death for his heinous crimes. Her research and investigation into the history about the murders, the trials and Michael himself was very thorough and eye opening. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys true crime novels and stories about the legal system, serial killers and/or the death penalty in the United States. The book will be released nationwide by Penguin Books in August. I did not receive any compensation for writing a review and the book was available for reading for a period of 41 days, after that I will no longer be able to access the e-galley.
