Butcher's Dozen

Larry Wakefield combines thirteen famous Michigan murders into a none stop heart-pumping compilation of stories as the Butcher's Dozen. All the murders are real and happened in many various places in Michigan. None are really recent though, in fact, all of them took place more than a half century ago. Each story takes you deep into the investigation and how the police and forensic officers believed it might of happened. Additional information was also added; such as, witnesses testimonies, and jury verdicts. Wakefield takes the story and puts us right there into the whole mix. Most end up as mystery cases, but others the killer ends up killing themselves. These murders give us an enlightenment of how no place is ever really safe, because some people are savage beast and don't care about what they are doing, they only do it for satisfaction. Overall this book is a fast paced read. When you dive in you don't want to stop until the end is met. The Butcher's Dozen is a great addition to any mystery murder fan anywhere.

Blood, Guts, And Death

Who knew that Michigan (outside of Detroit) could be so dangerous? The Butcher's Dozen by Larry Wakefield really opened my eyes to the danger that could occur close to home. This book is all about murders that happened all over the state. To be more specific, it's about 13 famous murders that happened in the late 1800's to the early 1900's. I really enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend the book to anyone to read. A word of advice is it the reader has a weak stomach not to read, because the book goes into great detail. Blood, guts, and death; you couldn't ask for a better book.

Butcher's Dozen

First published in 1991 by Larry Wakefeild, he tells about the thirteen famous Michigan murders. I thought he did a very nice job writing the book because it allways cept my attention and made me want to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. This book was a book with great detail, when I was reading a story about one of the murders it felt like I was standing right their watching it happen, for instance the bearded bandit story, when he shot the police officer at point blank range with a .44 caliber long barrel pistol, I could feel the gun going off and just picture the whole scene. If your a person that like's murder mystery's I would really incouage you to read the Butcher's Dozen, because thats all its about and after you read it you will agree that it is the best murder book you can find.
