description The Midnight Assassin Overview

Skip Hollandsworths account of the 'Servant Girl Annihilator,' a serial killer who terrorized Austin, Texas, in the 1880s, is a gripping piece of historical true crime. Hollandsworth, a veteran journalist, reconstructs the crimes and the investigation with the pacing of a thriller. The book is a vivid portrait of 19th-century Austin and a fascinating look at how early forensic science and police work were applied to a serial killer case. It is a well-researched, engaging, and highly recommended read for fans of historical true crime.
