review:
Interesting tale of the women murderers of 1920s Chicago and one of the “girl reporters” who covered them. Sometimes disjointed – I kept mixing up Belva & Beulah – but solid storytelling. Apparently he aims to correct some of the myths about the author of the original play “Chicago” (the aforementioned girl reporter) – none of which I was aware of, but she’s an intriguing character nonetheless.
