Texas Monthly

Everything is bigger in Texas, and that goes for the crimes committed in the state. Texas Monthly has compiled a book of some of the best of them ranging from the cross-dressing bank robber, to the woman who ran over her husband in her Mercedes after she caught him with his mistress, to the mild-mannered undertaker who murdered his benefactress (which became the recent movie, "Bernie.").

Reading this book is like watching a good crime movie with a big bag of buttered popcorn.
