Lake Erie Murder & Mayhem

by Wendy Koile

Lake Erie is known for its beauty and tranquility, but a dark, deadly undercurrent lurks beneath its surface. Bordering four states and two countries, the inland ocean offers the perfect getaway for criminals of all kinds. The bandits who held up the Ashtabula National Marine Bank as well as Ontario's most elusive conman used the lake to avoid capture. Pirate Joseph Kerwin relied on his knowledge of the shipping industry to evade the law. Narene Mozee's murderer quietly slipped away after completing his heinous deed on a luxury cruise ship, and when a lighthouse keeper found a corpse floating in the shallows near his post, all signs pointed to the killer fleeing by boat. Local author Wendy Koile wades into the depths of this great, but deadly lake.

Incredibly interesting read.

This short book was more a collection of short stories with none tied to the next except for the use of Lake Erie. I would have at least preferred them to be chronological, but the stories were good and it's always good to learn more about places you live near.

Interesting true stories of odd crimes that took place along Lake Erie, some still unsolved.
