Ten of the Smallest (and Most Bizarre) Bank Robberies
Ten of the Smallest (and Most Bizarre) Bank Robberies The standard movie scenarios frequently flash across your head when you think of bank robberies. Criminal masterminds methodically carry out a plan to steal big quantities of money in the hopes that they will never be discovered after spending a great deal of time researching bank floor layouts and security. Additionally, it stands to reason that anyone ready to conduct bank robbery would also be wanting for their crime to "pay," considering that the maximum sentence for such a crime is 20 years in jail. There have been some colossal bank robberies throughout history, such the $282 million Dar Es Salaam bank robbery in 2007. You'll read some very different stories, though, down below. This list includes 10 of the tiniest (and arguably the strangest) bank robberies, including ones with unusual motivations, fake firearms, and wealth that was gambled away.

Review of Helltown: The Untold Story of a Serial Killer on Cape Cod by Casey Sherman
A well-written, uniquely informative, and exploitative written dramatization of the serial killer that terrorized Cape Cod: Tony Costa. Weaving and connecting real figures (such as writers Kurt Vonnegut and Norman Mailer) while impressively providing the cultural and historical context of the 1960s, Sherman has a highly readable and interesting writing style. However, there are details and descriptions related to the serial killer’s crimes that are unnecessary and starkly stick out negatively. There is also the issue of the ending, discussed at the end so spoilers can be easily avoided since it barely has connection with reality and ends the book on a sour note.
