The Double Indemnity Murder: Ruth Snyder, Judd Gray, and New York's Crime of the CenturyFew incidents in crime history have been as notorious yet mundane as the 1927 murder of Queens suburbanite Albert Snyder by his wife and her lover. Resonant of the foot loose Jazz Age, it made persistent headlines, led to a sensational trial, spawned a 1920s Broadway play, and two classic film noirs of the 1940s: Double Indemnity and The Postman Always Rings Twice.

Few incidents in crime history have been as notorious - yet mundane - as the 1927 murder of Queens suburbanite Albert Snyder by his wife and her lover. Resonant of the foot-loose Jazz Age, it made persistent headlines, led to a sensational trial, spawned a 1920s Broadway play, and two classic film noirs of the 1940s: Double Indemnity and The Postman Always Rings Twice. This book assesses the entire case, from grisly slaying and shabby cover-up to sharp police work and aftermath. Moreover, it explores sociocultural questions that beg to be answered: what effect does news reportage exert upon high profile cases, and why did such a transparent crime earn such an enduring place in the popular psyche. Landis MacKellar lives in Vienna and Paris. His interest in the Snyder-Gray murder began when he taught in Queens College in New York City.Binding Type: Paperback

Great product
Style: Uneven & Discolored Skin
Not waterproof, but I use this under my makeup everyday. No scent, not super greasy, and goes under makeup well. I love La Roche Posay products. I have noticed a slight improvement on dark spots over a few months, but it's quality ingredients. This is a daily sunscreen, but it's not for a heavy beach day if you're going in the water. It's definitely water soluble which is great for every day wear.

This is perfect sunscreen if you have dry and melanated skin. Always glowing afree putting this on annd no white cast ever. There are also no irritants in the sunscreen so applying too much won’t break you out look other sunscreen. The bottle also lasts for about a month 1/2 at a time. Great product

Easy to use, no white residue
Style: Uneven & Discolored Skin
This is one of my favorite skincare products. It is easy to apply, it really goes on smoothly, does not feely greasy or icky, and best of all no white residue. It works well under makeup. At SPF 50, it offers great skin protection and is my go-to on a daily basis.
