I have another book to recommend, for anybody who loves a good mystery, or true crime. Those of you who read Ann Rule, Joe McGinniss or John Grisham, will be interested in this one: Scoundrels to the Hoosegow, by Morley Swingle. He is a MO writer, actually the elected prosecuting attorney of Cape Girardeau County, MO, and this book is a recounting of some of his more notable cases. He narrates some of the most hilarious and true situations, and some really serious and deadly cases he has prosecuted, and writes with a wonderful literacy, quoting famous justices, lawyers, and of course, a fellow Missourian, Mark Twain. This is a good book to read while you are traveling, or just sitting on the couch, waiting for CSI to resume from commercial break. So check it out at your local library!
