Hello there,
I wanted to recommend an author who made a virtual visit at our library last night.
Retired Detroit News journalist Marney Keenan presented an engaging, eye-opening, and morbidly fascinating presentation, based on her recent book The Snow Killings: Inside the Oakland County Child Killer Investigation (McFarland Press, 2020).
Like myself, if you lived in Oakland County (or even
SE MI) in the ’70s during the time that these events occurred, then this is a
story that you likely have never forgotten.
A time of innocence became a time of vigilance, and it was a scary time to be a child, or a parent, back then
in the wake of the murders.
True crime remains a popular program topic, and since this one is Michigan-related and even local for some libraries, I highly recommend Marney.
Thanks,
David M. Stokes
