A Killer Couple: A Review of Tiger Girl and the Candy Kid – Washington Independent Review of Books

Margaret and Richard Whittemore may lack the name recognition of Bonnie and Clyde, but they were to the Roaring Twenties what their notorious successors were to the Depression Era – a dangerous, headline-grabbing outlaw couple. Author Glenn Stout tells their story in Tiger Girl and the Candy Kid, a deep dive into a shadowy world of crooks, ex-cons, and big-time heists that has a lot to say about crime, punishment, and celebrity culture a century ago.
