Ax Murders of Saxtown: The Unsolved Crime That Terrorized a Town and Shocked the Nation | 
pickI live about twenty-twenty-five mins from Milstadt IL where this murder took place. This is one of those that was never solved. Very haunting story and one that left me awake at night. If you like true crime reads this is worth picking up.
The @Litsy giveaway today reminded me of a great story of my hometown!! This #ScaryRead for #AllHallowsRead is about a horrific axe murder that took place right down the street from where I grew up!! I grew up on Upper Saxtown instead of plain old Saxtown, and sure, it was like a hundred years ago, but still! The house was for rent once and I toured it. Super creepy!!! And the details this novel brings to light... Shudder.
