A Cracklin' Good Read!
By Jerry Smith
I quite enjoyed Townsend’s first book, Queen City Gothic, delving into Cincinnati’s most infamous unsolved cases. I think I like Notorious even better than Gothic, just for the closure. Here, Townsend peels back the mysteries and exposes these fascinating murder cases to light.
Queen City Notorious is the perfect mix of crimes and time periods throughout the 20th Century. For each case, Townsend describes what happened and puts the case in historical context with other major events occurring around the world. He then describes the players in each drama, what happened and why. For some crimes in the book, though ostensibly solved, there are still major facts or actions that are unknown. Townsend expertly speculates what may have happened and who probably was—and wasn’t—involved.
The first case is one of the most horrific—in 1910, Alice Van Zandt is roasted to death over a gas oven by her husband, left to die while their small child tottled around in the next room. The most outright shocking case was failed businessman Vinton Perin shooting his wealthy mother-in-law Frances Rawson in her Clifton mansion in 1924. Today that case would cause a national sensation and rock every tabloid on the market. It’s almost funny how local papers didn’t know how to report the case of Betty Butler, a black lesbian, drowning her love rival Evelyn Clark. They couldn’t report many aspects of the story in “family” papers in 1952.
One of the outright strangest stories is when all-American college athlete Jack Rauss slew Goldie Cunningham and her disabled husband James in 1961. It seems he went to visit them and Goldie said something bad about his mother, her close friend, which Jack couldn’t abide. There’s even a bad-boy/girlfriend love triangle murder. Bobby Abbot was going with Alice Ewing in 1964, but he tricked nursing student Wanda Cook into coming to his room at the old Sheraton Gibson Hotel. When she wouldn’t succumb to his desires, he killed her. Alice helped him put the body in a trunk and ship it cross-country. When they were arrested, they couldn’t blame each other fast enough.
Townsend ends the book with another odd passion crime: the murder of Dr. Jane Shutt by her adopted daughter Barbara. When Barbara learned her adopted parents were separating and she would have to move out and make her own way, she lost her mind and murdered her mother most viciously. There are many other gruesome and unusual cases in the book.
You don’t have to be from Cincinnati to marvel at these crimes of passion and gain—you can enjoy the sharp police work and seeing the bad guys get what’s coming regardless of where these crimes happened. Townsend unfolds these stories layer by layer, unraveling the mystery into a just, if not always satisfying, conclusion. Once you get your teeth into one of these stories you won’t be able to stop reading them all. A must-read for true crime buffs and ID Investigation addicts.

Enthralling!
By Ann Oliver
As a follow-up to Queen City Gothic, Queen City Notorious satisfies equally well, in fact, better––since this time the murderers (if still alive when their crimes are uncovered) are identified, caught and brought to justice. J.T. Townsend’s meticulous research and painstaking detail give us front-row seats to crime scenes, perpetrators’ backgrounds, relentless police work in unraveling cases, and eventual punishments.
Vintage photos provide terrific take-you-there perspectives. In some cases, victims feel almost like family members; we come to know them that well. Seventeen-year-old college freshman Susan Aue, for example, shot while still half-asleep in her bed during Christmas break by ex-boyfriend Gordon Pape, is particularly tragic; she possessed the quadruple “threat” of brains, beauty, charm and a loving, privileged family. Such a sad loss of so much potential––and the sadder awareness that if her stalker had behaved so irrationally not in 1956, but 50 years later in 2006, cops would surely have been notified early on to monitor his comings and goings.
This book is a riveting read, chock full of behind-the-scenes trivia and police-blotter specifics. We can’t help being impressed by detectives who began with just a dead body and somehow constructed motive, deed and case worthy of trial. Author Townsend creates a linear path that not only in hindsight makes easy, logical sense––but also enthralls true-crime fans who relish and ride along with so many initial twists and turns.

I AM ADDICTED TO TOWNSEND
By CincyGirl
Having read QUEEN CITY GOTHIC, I had to read this second book of Townsend's. How could I live my entire life in a city so full of horrible awesomeness and not even realize it?! I had no clue what my own city had to offer and that is sad for me. But these books--I don't know how to put this, but I have trouble putting them down. I go by many of the murder/crime scenes every day!! Lots of great photos, well-written and has done a ton of research on the cases he puts into his books. I am hoping to get to go to one of his lectures sometime and that he has another book coming out soon!
