About The Book

“My investigation of Minnesota murders over the years revealed no new motives for killing anyone. The old ones are perfectly satisfactory… I hope you will find these murders interesting. I regret that I could not report the most ingenious and remarkable ones. They looked like accidents or natural deaths and were never discovered.” — Walter N. Trenerry

Murder in Minnesota features some of the state’s most infamous criminals — a collection of fascinating and disagreeable characters usually ignored by historians. They live again in these pages as the conniving, clever, mad, or pitiful creatures they were. Fifteen chapters — involving both well-known and obscure practitioners of the deadly art — tell the stories of Ann Blansky, the only woman hanged in Minnesota; the famous Younger brothers, who with the James boys robbed the Northfield bank in 1876; the six Arbogast women of St. Paul, who kept a murderous secret that still remains undisclosed; and many more.

Praise for Murder in Minnesota:

“You should not overlook this exemplary work.” — New York Times Book Review

“An exemplary treatment of regional history as revealed by the spotlight of crime. Would that the other … state historical societies might follow Minnesota’s noble example!” — Anthony Boucher, Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine

“A fine example of true-crime writing for all devotees of that form.” — San Francisco Chronicle
