New book explores Michigan's most notorious murders

Tom Carr

Are you a fan of a good murder story? If so, you’ll find plenty of well-known murder cases all around Michigan.

Northern Michigan author and journalist Tom Carr has gathered up a bunch of them in his new book, “Blood On the Mitten: Infamous Michigan Murders.” The book takes a look at Michigan murder cases all the way back to the 18th century.

You may know Carr as a former reporter for the Traverse City Record-Eagle and a contributor to IPR News.

“I’ve always been a fan of history and of true crime,” says Carr. “I’ve covered some crimes myself, in my day, and I … was looking for possible ways to combine the two and we came up with this.

Tom Carr spoke with ‘All Things Considered’ host Aaron Selbig about some of Michigan’s most notorious crimes.
