"Chris Enss has written a fascinating dual biograp "Chris Enss has written a fascinating dual biography of Depression Era gangster Machine Gun Kelly and his wife/moll, Kathryn Thorne. It's an entertaining book that's meticulously researched and full of period details that take you right into the heart of the Depression in the midwest.

In the book, we see how Kathryn was the mastermind behind their criminal activities. She loved money and pretty things, and Kelly loved her. So he was willing to do anything to make her happy, from bank robbing to kidnapping. You almost feel kind of sorry for the poor sap because he's so besotted with her.

Meet the Kellys is a fast-paced, page-turning story that reads more like a novel than history. I highly recommend it." BookBub Review of Meet the Kellys.

“Enss presents the true history of one of Americ “Enss presents the true history of one of America’s great criminal romances in this nonfiction work. . . . This propulsive and thoroughly researched true-crime account will especially please fans of Depression-era gangster stories as it helps to elevate George and Kathryn to the same iconic strata as Bonnie and Clyde. A pulpy true-crime account of one of America’s most infamous kidnappings.” —Kirkus Reviews on Meet the Kellys
