Author Doug "VB" Goudie ("A Frost In Hell: The True Story of the Petersham Butcher of 1875") will explore an infamous Massachusetts murder, which led to the "trial of the year," a first-of-its kind appeal, and a last-of-its-kind punishment that caused our state to reconsider its criminal justice system. Doug "VB" Goudie has spent much of his career in talk radio in Boston, first as a sidekick on the Howie Carr Show, then as a host on VB's Pleasure Pit, and now as a host on the Boston.com Morning Show on WRKO. He also spent 11 years in TV as a commentator on the Fox 25 Morning News show in Boston. Q&A and book selling/signing to follow for those interested. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
