Murder & Mayhem in Indiana by Keven McQueen
Summary: With an
eye for bizarre, macabre detail, Keven McQueen tracks down seventeen true
crimes and unsolved mysteries in this rap sheet of historic Hoosier homicides
from Indiana's hardscrabble past. This grim collection of tales includes
unimaginable incidents like the Indianapolis businessman whose car contained
suspicious "hams" and the man who handed his new bride a drink of
carbolic acid. It also reveals the tragedy of Gary's beautiful Arlene Draves,
killed by her football player boyfriend, as well as a surprisingly comic
courtroom revelation by Hammond's Hazel McNally that cleared her of all
charges.
Angie's Comments: Keven McQueen reports on some murders in Indiana’s
past. The cases are unique, and some are still unsolved. It is a quick read,
and many of the cases focus on the trial(s). This book gives a quick snippet of
information about each case, but if you want more information, you will want to
look for other books.
I
recommend this book for true crime readers and readers interested in Indiana history.
