This was a very interesting read. If you are planning a vacation to Duluth, MN and visiting Glensheen, this makes the history and the tour a lot more interesting. I would recommend reading this if you are going visit Glensheen or just like a good true murder mystery.
Very good

I just finished reading Will to Murder and I couldn't put it down until I was done with it. I read the first few chapters then toured Glensheen. It was very helpful knowing some of the history of the house and the murders and knowing exactly which rooms they happened in. The tour guide was asked how the University got the mansion and the tour guide said Elizabeth passed away. She didn't once say anything about the murders. The daughter has a lot of problems.
Very well written, lots of details you can't find elsewhere!

I loved this book. I thought the attention to detail was what was so spectacular about it. I grew up in Northern Minnesota and I loved hearing every little detail about a story that I have been around my whole life. Who wants to read a "generalized" account of a murder? True life murder investigations and accounts are very detailed, as they should be and this one is no exception. It was great getting all of the extra information that you don't hear about on TV or in the newspapers. I love non-fiction books and I think this one was truly interesting to read. I couldn't put it down even though I knew the ending! Very well written. I highly recommend it.
A great read based on first-hand information

This book was like reading top-notch fiction; I couldn't put it down even though I knew the ending. The co-authors were the chief investigator and the prosecutor of the Glensheen mansion murders. Their direct participation (including some painful admissions of mistakes made) gives this book enormous credibility. The lead author, a reporter and a lawyer, ties it all together. The book not only chronicles a double-murder investigation and two trials, it brings the cases up to date with new DNA analysis of critical evidence. When I checked around, Will to Murder was flying off the shelves here in Minnesota. I suspect it will have legs and get national attention as well.
