Come join us as local author and genealogist Milli Knudsen visits the library. She will be talking about her book "Murder and Mayhem: True Crime in New Hampshire, 1883-1915". No registration required. This event is free and open to all ages (recommended for teens and adults interested in true crime and local history). About the book: "The world changed in dramatic ways between 1883 and 1915.  The ways to commit crimes and the ways to investigate crime changed as well.  Sometimes, the lives of the investigators, the judges and doctors, and the journalists who covered crime stories were every bit as fascinating as the crimes.  Drawn from prison, court and newspaper archives, including 65 images, and fully indexed, Murder and Mayhem tells the stories behind the headlines and gives you a glimpse into true crime in New England leading up to World War I.  These are true stories of those who served time in the New Hampshire State Prison, what they did, how they were apprehended, and the people who put them there."
