PATRICIA LUBECK IS NEW TO MONTEVIDEO, AND YOU CAN’T WAIT TO READ HER!

Patricia Lubeck relocated to Montevideo in February and spends most of her time researching and writing true crime stories from Minnesota’s early history. Her most recent book, Asylum Scandals: Abuse, Torture, Corruption and Murder in Minnesota’s State Hospitals, offers a glimpse of what daily life was like in the state hospitals from 1867 to 1915.

Lubeck grew up in southwestern Minnesota. She earned her BA degree from the University of California at Santa Barbara, returned to Minnesota in 2005, and served as museum director.

Her other titles include Murder in Gales, A Rose Hanged Twice; Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem in Minnesota; Crime and Calamity in Yellow Medicine County; Murder and Madness; Victims of Foul Play; and Death by Poison. For more on Patricia Lubeck, visit her website:
