The Belle of Bedford Avenue reviewed in Northwest Indiana Times
Jan 7th, 2021
The Northwest Indiana Times calls The Belle of Bedford Avenue: The Sensational Brooks-Burns Murder in Turn-of-the-Century New York by Virginia A. McConnell “A well-written, intriguing true crime story.”
“A rich young woman running wild, her boyfriend left for dead in a low-rent hotel room and lurid headlines such as “Brooklyn is a modern sodom” might seem like a contemporary made-for-television movie. But it’s all straight out of history in Virginia McConnell’s latest historic true-crime book, The Belle of Bedford Avenue: The Sensational Brooks-Burns Murder in Turn-of-the-Century New York”
