Volume #2 includes . . .

• The Carnation Christmas Murders: A husband and wife living in a small town developed animosity toward her family over petty grievances. While some of us could relate to that situation, none of us would think the solution is multiple homicides on Christmas Eve.
• The Halloween Killer: A 9-year-old girl in Wisconsin went trick or treating in 1973. She went to the door of a neighbor she knew and when he opened it she stepped inside his house. He closed the door behind her.
• Missing Valentine: A stay-at-home dad began to resent his wife’s success and frequent business trips, so he seduced their 19-year-old nanny. His wife’s last Valentine’s Day ended with trash bags and a machine shop.

My Review

What a collection of true crime stories. Each one very fascinating. Although I will say that the last story is the most fascinating. It remains unsolved to this day, and this is why this story is so puzzling. The person responsible was not trying to hide their crime and let so much DNA data at the scene. 

I think the stories where they took place during Thanksgiving and Christmas are very heartbreaking. I know when I was a little girl, losing my one grandfather of natural causes so close to Christmas was a hard time. For years afterwards, this time that should be very joyous is tainted by the memories of tragedy. As a true crime fan, readers will want to check out this book.
