- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5As always, Rick Geary is a master at his craft .
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book presents in painstaking details, the case of the kidnapped (and later murdered) infant son of the famous aviator, Charles A. Lindbergh. The book is historically accurate and even provides "conspiracy" (for lack of a better term) theories and loose ends still surrounding the case. The twist is that it is told in comic strip style, with expositional captions detailing the story over panels of stylized images. Even knowing what would eventually happen, I found myself on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next. This is one of the few books I could put in the category of "not able to put down" -- I actually read it all in one sitting.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Reason for Reading: Next in the series, but actually I should say first in a new series.Comments: Rick Geary moves on to the 20th century with this book taking a look at one of the most famous crimes of the century. Whether that still holds true because of the celebrity of the victim's father or now the obvious failure of the justice system and obvious lack of evidence I don't know. What can I say? This book gives exactly what one expects from Geary in his true crime books. Astounding art work. To be honest I'd read the phone book if he illustrated it! But fortunately the text is just as superior. A lot of research has gone into this volume. I'm quite familiar with the case and Geary covers a lot of information from all points of view even to the point of examining the plausibilities of various "whodunit" scenarios. While Geary's last few books were good as usual, The Saga of the Bloody Benders in particular was lacking in details simply as they don't exist; it's good to see the wealth of detail come back as in earlier books such as The Borden Tragedy and The Beast of Chicago. One fervent hope I have now that Geary has moved onto the 20th century, he even has a new book out already, is that he won't forget his Victorian series as I for one would like to see more continue from that era as well. Mr. Geary, your readers can certainly handle keeping up with both series. {hint, hint}. Not much to say in this review, Geary at his best. Fans will be pleased to see Geary in top form and if you haven't read Geary yet, why not?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Rick Geary has shifted centuries with The Lindbergh Child, but in all other respects, this volume fits in naturally with his previous series, the Treasury of Victorian Murder. And as always, Geary's talents are ideally suited to the task. His graphic style has matured wonderfully over the years, and is now so instantly recognizable and consistently entertaining that it's almost too easy to take his considerable abilities for granted. In this book, Geary tackles the complex and baffling case of the Lindbergh kidnapping, and suffice to say that no other artist could pull this one off with the grace and style inherent to Rick Geary.
