Customer Reviews

The Morning Ran Red

The Morning Ran Red sat on my shelf unread for many months. It was a gift to me and one I thought probably wouldn't be to my liking. I was very pleasantly surprised, when I started the book I couldn't put it down. I will recommend it to my book-club. Thank you Mr. Bowman, keep writing more mysteries.

A native

I grew up in Villisca hearing the stories of the ax murders. My grandmother was a young girl living in town when it happened and my siblings and I loved listening to her recount. I really enjoyed reading the book!

Morning Ran Red very accurate

As someone who has done a lot of reading about the Villisca Axe Murders, as well as visiting the site, this book holds true to many of the actual details. Just enough literary license is used for a dramatic effect. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes intrigue and mystery, but especially to people who are familar with the actual story.

Iowa History

This was a very interesting book about the unsolved axe murders that took place in Villisca, Iowa in 1912. If you're interested in midwest history or true crime stories you'll love this one.
