True Crime In New England - Maine

Almost 300 Pages!

Twenty more meticulously researched cases. One state. Stories that New England would rather forget.

True Crime New England — Maine is book three of a six-volume series, documenting murder cases from the years 1965 to 1995.

From the rocky coast and fishing villages of Down East Maine to the old mill towns along its rivers — from the New Hampshire border to the forests that stretch toward Canada — these are real crimes, unsolved murders, cold cases, and shocking crimes that defined a generation in Maine. Some were solved. Some remain open to this day.

This is not a book about killers.

This is a book about hardworking, ordinary Mainers whose lives were brutally and irretrievably altered— women, children, and men with histories, personalities, and families who loved them. Their stories unfold across Maine's coastal communities, isolated rural towns, and small cities. Some cases were once widely known. Others have faded with the passage of time. All of them deserve to be remembered.

Meticulously researched from contemporary sources — newspaper archives, court records, and contemporaneous accounts — these twenty cases span three decades of Maine history, from 1965 to 1995. This volume offers the depth and detail that true crime readers rarely find in anthology collections. Every case is grounded in documented fact and told with the respect the victims deserve.

If you enjoy true crime books about real murders, regional crime history, and cold case investigations — this series was written for you.
