Whack Job A History of Axe Murder by Rachel McCarthy James

Whack Job A History of Axe Murder by Rachel McCarthy James was received directly from the publisher and I chose to review. Axes, used for chopping wood, chopping trees, chopping necks, everyone has an axe story they at least heard from others. This book goes into great detail with axe related stories from it being a tool to it being a weapon, to it being a handy thing to have around your house nowadays. From Henry the 8th and beheadings, the real story of George Washington and the cherry tree and the real story of an unknown mass murder involving a woman named Lizzie. Whatever your take, this book is a fast and entertaining read.
