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.
