When I was a teenager, I devoured the first of several books I’ve read about the infamous Lizzie Borden (“Lizzie Borden took an ax, gave her mother forty whacks; when she saw what she had done, gave her father forty-one.â€) I became fascinated with true-murder stories, and over the years I’ve read several. Perhaps as I matured, my thirst for murder, thank goodness, lessened, so it has been quite a while since I delved into true crime. But when I heard about Skip Hollandsworth’s The Midnight Assassin, I knew I had to read it. It has one of the things I like in a book: a compelling story set in Texas, my home state. Hollandsworth’s book is compelling, indeed. He spent hours and hours perusing old news stories, interviewing descendants, and peering over vintage photographs to piece together the story of the first serial killings in the US. We find, in the epilogue, that the author became so engrossed in his research that he had an overwhelming desire to solve these murders from well over a century ago. I won’t tell you if he did or not, for that would spoil the hunt. Hollandsworth, a journalist, does not just relate the murders, however. He also “sets the scene,†giving us copious details about Austin, Texas, at the time of the murders. And his writing style is far from cold journalism. While leading up to yet another murder, the author regales the good times, the calm, the everyday living going on in the town, and then he whops us with a two sentence chapter ending that sets us smack in the middle of yet another killing. And what makes this technique even more compelling is that not every chapter that utitilizes the “fun times†narrative ends with a gruesome murder, so we, the readers, are constantly wondering if he is leading up to another horrific crime or not. And along the way, we are treated to tales of the politicians, the lawmen, the doctors, the servants, the prominent citizens, and the blunders that made Austin the town it was in the late eighteen hundreds. This is fascinating journalism and fascinating story-telling.
In depth history of one of America's first (or possibly the first) serial killer set in 1880's Austin, TX.The book, while mostly interesting, reads really almost more like a research paper or a dissertation than a book. More time was spent describing events, styles and general happenings in 1885 Austin than dissecting the actual murders and their aftermath. I understand that the author had to work with the limited information available to him, but I felt more like a was reading a book about the politics of Austin, the building of the capital, the growth, the outdoor lighting and general philosophy of the day than reading a mystery.Definitely a well researched book, worth reading (particularly for Texans) and full of interesting tid bits of the day.
Engrossing, painstakingly researched true crime history of America's first serial killer; crimes still unsolved to this day.Author Skip Hollandsworth has brilliantly captured the time and place in his re-creation of the hunt for an unknown killer with the burgeoning growth of Austin, Texas from frontier town to the bustling metropolis of a state capital. A fascinating study which combines all the fear generated by crimes of appalling depravity, investigative incompetence by "Town Hall", racial intolerance and political shenanigans in late 19th. Century Austin.As much a history of a city as of a crime, best summed up by the author's own words in his notes section: "In many ways, Austin became the most interesting character in the book, an intoxicating mixture of the Old South, the Old West, and the new Gilded Age. Because the murders affected every level of Austin society -from the most privileged members of white society to desperately impoverished African-Americans- I had a rare opportunity to create a portrait of race, class, gender, urban life, and, most significantly, the nature of American violence."
Lived in Texas all my life and never heard this story. Not only do you get a history lesson about Austin, Texas, but you will read a bizarre, grisly story that's chilling in every sense of the word. Who could be roaming the streets of Austin late at night killing women for no perceptible reason while often leaving their husbands or lovers damaged, but not dead. And not only killing them but inflicting horrific physical damage. The city becomes paralyzed while both local and imported law officers make no headway. Lots of detail given how long ago it happened (1885), but all necessary and informative.
Fans of Erik Larson will enjoy Midnight Assassin. (BTW, there are at least two other books out there titled Midnight Assassin, so make sure you get the one by Skip Hollandsworth.)In 1884 to 1885, someone was slaughtering women in Austin, Texas. Both black servants and white society women were targeted, and were killed by ax blows to the head. No one ever got a good look at the killer but witnesses insisted he was black. No, white. Bloodhounds brought in to track the killer could never get a proper scent since the crime scenes were trampled by family, police and the multitude of "lookie lou" townspeople.In 1888, when Jack the Ripper began carving up Whitechapel prostitutes, London police wondered if it was the American Midnight Assassin come to town.The reason I've mentioned Erik Larson is because Midnight Assassin is very much like Larson's book "The Devil in the White City" in which serial killer H.H. Holmes built a "murder hotel" at the 1893 World's Fair so he could experiment on, torture, and murder people who came to the fair.Midnight Assassin includes photos from 1880s Austin, and interesting facts about the city and its citizens.
