More Maritime Murder - Deadly Crimes of the Buried Past

More Maritime Murder - Deadly Crimes of the Buried Past

More Maritime Murder presents twenty new and spine-tingling tales of cold-blooded crimes from across Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. From 1859 to 1947, these stories spring from police files and trial records, telling the true, gruesome, and long-buried tales of the Butterbox Babies, a murderer named Tom Collins, and a still-unsolved cold case from Goblin Hollow, PEI — just to name a few.

In his uniquely homespun style, veteran storyteller and historian Steve Vernon keeps readers on the edge of their seats as they follow the gory details of the crime itself, the (sometimes still-unknown) reasons behind it, and, perhaps most importantly, what happened afterwards. Fans of true crime and local history will not want to miss this follow-up to Vernon’s 2010 bestseller, Maritime Murder.

A great book for history and crime buffs alike!

"More Maritime Murder" By Steve Vernon is an incredibly well done book. I absolutely love books on history and crime, and this book really satisfied both those subjects!

Steve Vernon is an amazing story teller, and this clearly shines through in this book. Tales of murders from all across the Atlantic provinces are told, like the butter box babies scandal, which I think was my favorite story told in this book. I've always been very fascinated by and have heard tales told from those around me about this scandal, so actually getting to read about it was a pleasure, though it was a very sad happening.

I absolutely adored this book. And I'm so happy I did, as Steve Vernon has a couple other books I was interested in checking out, so now that I know I like his writing style I am more than happy to say I will be getting a few more of his books!

I recommend this book 100% if you want to learn some history, hear about some crimes, and really like someone who can tell a really good story!

I recommend this book.
