3.5/5

The summer of 1958 has the Midwest gripped by a brutal string of murders. Dubbed the bloodless murders, the victims all have died by exsanguination. In September the murders have come to Minnesota, but there is a change. A young girl, Marie Catherine Hale, is found at the scene covered in blood.
