Last Meals

As someone who has a strong interest in true crime, I was excited to read this book. It exceeded my expectations. It was more than just a list of final meals. There's information on the crimes committed by inmates, and even recipes. If your a true crime fan, or just someone interested in the last meals of death row inmates, this book is for you.
