This is yet another biopic read that’s really hard to put down. It's an insightful and graphically detailed account of some of the most horrific (albeit little known about) serial killers. In fact, while reading yet another of Jack Rosewoods books, I just had to keep turning the pages yet again. Not necessarily because it's all that enjoyable in any way, shape or form, to delve a little too deeply into the malefic minds of such murderous men, but because I sincerely believe that most people are fascinated in one way or another by serial killers. Perhaps it’s the human morbid fascination with death. I’m not exactly sure. However, maybe it just astounds the average person as to how depraved another individual can be.Even if you are a seasoned campaigner of true crime, True Crime Stories: 12 Shocking True Crime Murder Cases (True Crime Anthology) will surely raise more than a few hairs on the back of your neck. It was a good read and the author gave a perspective to these horrific crimes that were fascinating and intriguing. This was one of the better true crime books that I have read recently.The writing is fresh and straight to the point. It’s a straightforward and no fluff guide and an interesting quick short read. As a big fan of Jack Rosewood, it’s another five stars from me. I would highly recommend his work to all fans of the true crime genre.
For those of you who are fans of Mr. Jack Rosewood with his vivid and psychological ventures through his books into the depraved minds of those individuals who we aptly call serial killers know I am a fan as well. It didn’t start out that way as I would have normally walked away from reading stories like these, but somehow they began to grow on me, much in the same manner I’d watched the complete series of “Murder, She Wrote” streaming on NetFlix a several months ago, when I didn’t watch the show when it originally aired; they only difference is that times have changed and so has my taste for stories like these. So when I perused my reviews and my KINDLE library of books I was surprised that somehow I’d missed this endeavor by the author.In this outing of his exposés Mr. Rosewood presents his fans and those reading him for the first time a smorgasbord/an anthology of a dozen true crime murders, murders which have flown under the radar of the news media but we were just as heinous in what had taken place, simply because they were basically singular events and not a series of them perpetrated by the same individuals. Murders, which had gone cold but eventually solved years later due to the vast improvements of investigative tools used by detectives, much in the same manner we hear about such cases being resolved today. Murders, which might could have even baffled Charlie Chan or Sherlock Holmes, with their strange coincidences or singularities.For informing his readers in his usual style about these “forgotten” true murder cases I’m giving Mr. Rosewood 5 STARS.
A real writing talent exists in Mr Rosewood, who apparently is descended from a writer father. In this book of murder anthologies he brings to light some cases that are not on the tip of media's tongue. They are interesting because they are basically unheard of and one in particular, that of a New Jersey killer, Richard Zarinsky, is particularly gripping, as he was running rampant before the advent of truly modern detective work, including the use of DNA. And when the law caught up to him there was mass devastation in his wake.What I would say regarding Rosewood's writing is that he needs an editor. He frequently cuts out much of the meat of a story and goes from "this is what he did" to "and then they caught him", if I may turn a phrase. The writing of the stories is too thin and needs fleshing out in a calm, cold, detailed way. Minus the numerous exclamation points, BTW. Let the reader's imagination put those exclamation points in. Let him get there himself by really working that story.In any case Mr. Rosewood is finding his way into something good.
Fascinating stories, most of these crimes I have not heard of until now. Mr. Rosewood has never let me down. I definitely give this a high recommendation, especially to anyone who enjoys reading this genre. I downloaded the kindle edition and it was an easy read.
This is a great book for anyone who enjoys reading about crime, murder, forensic science, and mystery. The author gives a professionally written account of 12 very different cases involving missing persons and murder. It is no way a comprehensive account of such cases, which would fill an entire library and take a lifetime to read, but it is an excellent cross-section of the various types of cases that law enforcement come across. These cases include cold cases that are solved decades later, missing persons cases that turn into homicide investigations, petty criminals who are later revealed to be serial killers, and even a few homicides and missing person cases that are never solved. Each chapter reads like a short mystery novel, but the events relayed are 100% real.I received this book at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. And although I didn't need to read the entire book to get an accurate taste of it, I did read the entire book, just because it was interesting and well-written.
