In 1901, Atlanta was a city on the rise. The New South was booming, and the city was at the forefront of the region's economic and social transformation. But beneath the surface of progress and prosperity, a dark secret was brewing.

Jenny Taliaferro was a beautiful and vivacious young woman from one of Atlanta's most prominent families. She was engaged to marry a wealthy businessman, and her future seemed bright. But on a fateful night in October, Jenny was found dead in her own home, shot multiple times.

The murder of Jenny Taliaferro sent shockwaves through Atlanta. The police quickly arrested two suspects: Corra Candler, the wife of Coca-Cola magnate Asa Candler, and John Slaton, a former governor of Georgia. Both Corra and John were close friends of Jenny's, and their involvement in her death stunned the city.

The trial of Corra Candler and John Slaton was one of the most sensational in Georgia history. The prosecution painted Corra as a jealous and vengeful woman who had killed Jenny out of spite. The defense, on the other hand, argued that John Slaton was the real killer, and that Corra had been coerced into helping him cover up the crime.

In the end, the jury acquitted both Corra Candler and John Slaton. The true killer of Jenny Taliaferro was never found.

Shot All to Pieces is a riveting account of the Jenny Taliaferro murder case. Susan Spann's meticulous research and gripping narrative bring to life the complex characters and events of this tragic case. Spann explores the social and cultural forces that shaped the case, and she provides a nuanced understanding of the motivations of the people involved.

Shot All to Pieces is a must-read for anyone interested in true crime, Georgia history, or the complexities of human nature.
