Murder and Mayhem:  The Stories Behind the Headlines…

 

  • Two immigrant lumbermen have a fiddling contest. What could go wrong?

  • Fifty years after a brutal knife attack, what Christmas miracle happened to a woman in North Adams, MA?

  • Could a “one-legged” man really rescue a boatload of drowning people and single-handedly raid houses without being caught?

Advance Readers' Comments:

 

  •  “Murder and Mayhem is both riveting reading and an agonizing reminder that the villains and monsters of our troubled time didn’t invent dishonesty and rage and hatred. Milli Knudsen has done an extraordinary job…providing enough fascinating stories to fill a dozen seasons of a Netflix streamer.”  

—Ernest Thompson, author, playwright, actor, director, Academy Award-winner for adapted screenplay of “On Golden Pond”

 

  • “Nobody knows murder and mayhem in New Hampshire like author Milli Knudsen. She provides not only an easy-to-read account, but also a snapshot into a period of history not unlike our own when it comes to criminal behavior, except the bad guys and gals may have fled in a horse-drawn wagon rather than a getaway car.”

—Nancy West, founder, publisher of InDepthNH.org, the daily nonprofit news website.

​

  • “Knudsen’s research and writing extend well beyond the murders and trials and into the personal lives and histories of both the victims and their killers. A truly captivating reading experience. A copy belongs in every true-crime reader’s library.”

—Bill Powers, retired Detective Lt, MA State Police, author

​

  • Each story leaves the reader with a profound understanding of the history of murder and of mayhem in the late 19th, early 20th century New Hampshire. Murder and Mayhem is a must read and we will anxiously await its sequel.”

—Lieutenant John R. Sonia, Homicide Unit Commander-New Hampshire State Police​
