25 Diabolical Adirondack Murders

by Lawrence P. Gooley

Within these pages are twenty-five complete stories of murder in the North Country. The perpetrators range from average citizens to some of the worst degenerates imaginable. Their methods run the gamut from poison to clubs to knives to guns to axes, while their stories contain shocking revelations and remarkable twists, far too many to count. And some are just plain unusual.

These true chronicles from long ago once held readers spellbound, and are as riveting as many of the high-profile murder cases in modern media. It's at once fascinating and disturbing to explore the devious minds of those who walk among us. If you enjoy cold-case homicides, true murder stories, or the darker side of Adirondack history, then this book is for you.

[Lesley Montenaro · Rating 4 out of 5]

WOW! Talk about scary! I live in the Adirondacks and never knew most of these stories, making this even more creepy. The author seems to go out of his way to confirm or disprove facts about each case and apparently has done his research. Well written, true stories that will make your skin crawl at the thought of so much evil in the world. Truly and enjoyable quick read!

The perfect compliment to any Adirondack (or any) camp coffee table!

Very detailed and well researched. Went into the trials a fair amount so if that would interest you then this book is perfect but I didn't care so much for that so it wasn't as interesting to me as I thought it would be.
