"If you love true crime, history, and power-hungry "If you love true crime, history, and power-hungry duos who shake things up (*think Bonnie & Clyde but way more calculated*), Meet the Kellys needs to be on your radar. Chris Enss takes us deep into the lives of George "Machine Gun" Kelly and his wife, Kathryn Thorne—two criminals who went from small-time bootleggers to major FBI targets. And let’s be real—Kathryn is the one pulling the strings, proving once again that behind every infamous man, there’s often a mastermind woman. This book reads like a fast-paced thriller but is all facts. Enss uses court records, newspaper clippings, and real-life accounts to bring us a minute-by-minute breakdown of their most daring heists—including the high-stakes kidnapping that sealed their fate. It’s immersive, wild, and packed with all the drama of a true crime podcast you’d binge in one sitting. The 1920s and ’30s setting makes it even more fascinating—this is peak Prohibition-era crime, where gangsters ruled, money was king, and danger lurked around every corner. Whether you’re a die-hard true crime fan or just dipping into the genre, Meet the Kellys is gripping, cinematic, and an absolute must-read." NetGalley Reviews Meet the Kellys will arrive in bookstores on May 27.
