Murder Tales in the Ottawa Valley

SPELL BINDING, HAUNTING, INTRIGUING

Murder tales in the Ottawa Valley written by articulate and passionate newsmen from yesteryears buried for years in old newspapers are resurrected in Keith Landry’s most recent True Crime book.

There are six murder stories, the oldest in 1879 and the most recent in 1971.

Murders happened in Shawville, Ottawa, Smith Falls, Pembroke, Eganville and Winchester.

Readers are able to pretend to be a juror and learn the evidence against the accused as if they were in attendance at trials.

“Justice requires that to lawfully constituted Authority there be given that respect and obedience which is its due; that the laws which are made shall be in wise conformity with the common good; and that, as a matter of conscience all men shall render obedience to these laws.” .
- Pope Pius X1
