I read this book for my hometown book club and we invited the author over to talk about his book. He is extremely knowledgable about all the crimes he covers. His books are so informative. If you are from Wisconsin or Minnesota I highly suggest looking up his work. It is fantastic. He also sells his books for cost. He isn't trying to make any money from them. He is just hoping to spread the word of the cold case crimes that are still out there. He actually help solve one case already.

If it's set in Wisconsin, I will often read it. Cold Cases of West Central Wisconsin is a relook back at some crimes that could be solved if the right person will come forward.
The author has done a good job in trying to recreate the scenes and explain the events leading up to the crime. He's able to make the victims real to the reader. Hopefully the book helps in some of these unsolved cases.
It may not be the best bedtime reading however. It's a little eerie reading about things that happen in places you've been to. Small towns not exempt.
