I won an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from the Library Thing Early Reviewer Giveaway.This was a very interesting true crime novel. Very well written. A joy to read and I'd definitely read books by and recommend this author. (  ) Barb_H | Dec 21, 2017 | This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. As an Amazon Enthusiast for True Crime Books I can’t really resist reading and reviewing items with fall under the parameters of this genre, and one of the best authors I’ve found is Jack Rosewood.In his 8th anthology of a dozen individuals who have committed truly vicious, horrendous acts of depravity that one individual could ever do, Mr. Rosewood has once again delivered in-depth studies of individuals who have captured the headlines for weeks, if not months, in newspapers across this country, as well as other parts of the world through their vicious acts of depravity resulting in the murders of helpless, unsuspecting victims. For each individual he decides to write about, Mr. Rosewood starts at beginning of their lives to see if there had been something in their childhood which could have led this individual into doing the acts they did as an adult. While the author has already written numerous books on the lives of single individuals who have been the worse of any serial killers known to the general; in this, his eight anthology of a dozen individuals, who although they never achieve national or worldwide fame for their acts and flew under the radar of the national press, were none the less just as horrific. Once again, given Mr. Rosewood’s commitment in delivering captivating, page turning stories of true crimes, I’ve given this collection 5 STARS.

These anthologies are very well done...factual and to the point. I like that dialogue is included, details are given unemotionally (even though the details definitely make me have a range of emotional responses), and the books are relatively short in order for the listener to have time to decompress from such morbid stories.
I do not know how Jack Rosewood can continually research such horrendous murders and murderers...don't get me wrong, it's very interesting, but so disturbing. I have found after having listened to many of Rosewood's true crime audiobooks, that I have to listen to them during the day...listening/reading too close to bedtime equals crazy/scary dreams of murderers! EEK!
Very well done, Rosewood. (
