No Place Like Murder 2: Vintage True Crime in the Hoosier Heartland

by Janis Thornton

Overview

NO PLACE LIKE MURDER 2 takes a hard look at twenty sensational murders that shocked the Hoosier Heartland between 1883 and 1960. Many were premeditated and brutal; others were the unintended result of a momentary loss of control. All the murderous incidents, however, focus on a woman or child. Sometimes both. No Place Like Murder 2—like its predecessor, No Place Like Murder—examines the perpetrators' lives, mindsets, motives, capture, trials, and punishment, as well as what became of them long after. An enthralling and chilling collection, No Place Like Murder 2 is certain to please true crime lovers.
