Lady in Waiting (for Mr. Peanut by Adam Ross)
i recently finished reading our july First Editions Club pick, Mr. Peanut by Adam Ross. damn fine book mr. ross, damn fine indeed. i don’t think i was aware before starting to read it that one of the characters is dr. sam sheppard who was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife in 1954. i’m absolutely infatuated with true crime and will read anything that i can get my hands on about serial killers and murderers. while sam sheppard is not the main character in mr. peanut he is the one that stuck with me the most. as soon as i finished the novel i immediately ordered a book on the sheppard case and am planning on reading that before i write what we call The Story Behind the Pick which we are now doing with our First Editions Club book picks on this oh so lovely blog of ours.
