Hoosier Killers: Indiana's Darkest History by Ed Wenck

I mentioned Ed Wenck a few days ago when he appeared at the great Whispers From the Grave event in Irvington....

Well, I was lucky enough to get him to sign a copy of his book, "Hoosier Killer's:  Indiana's Darkest History" after the performance!

I had just read the book too....  Its hard to say a book is good when it is dealing with murder.  I feel comfortable saying that this book is fascinating.  VERY fascinating in that it is really to the point.  It covers the most well known crimes in the Hoosier state, dividing them up into categories (Mass Killers, Traveling Killers, Race Killers, etc).

One thing that I really appreciated about this book was that each section was brief.  Wenck sticks to the known information on the crimes, keeping everything brief and fact based.  This is a good starting point for someone who might want to research more into Indiana crimes.  The author covers ALL of the major ones, briefly, here.

The entries are short, but they are complete, as Wenck includes follow up information about the events too.
