The world can be a very strange place in general, and when you listen to this true crime anthology, you will quickly learn that the criminal world specifically can be as bizarre as it is dangerous. In the following book, you will be captivated by mysterious missing person cases that defy all logic and a couple of cases of murderous mistaken identity. Follow along as detectives conduct criminal investigations in order to solve cases that were once believed to be unsolvable. Every one of the crime cases chronicled in this book is as strange and disturbing as the next.
Every year, we look back in horror at the sheer evil mankind is capable of, and 2017 was no different. Across the world, but particularly in the United States, startlingly horrific crimes have almost become commonplace, causing us to double-lock our doors at night and look over our shoulders, wondering if we're safe, no matter how crowded or well-lit our location is. In this true crime release, we've compiled some of the most gripping and gruesome crime stories of 2017.
There are reasons why some of the most famous serial killers in the world have names that stick in our memories, send shivers up our spines, make us double-check to make sure the doors are locked at night, and maybe peek under the bed to be sure nothing is lurking there before we turn off the lights.
There is little more terrifying than those who hunt, stalk, and snatch their prey under the cloak of darkness. These hunters search not for animals, but for the touch, taste, and empowerment of human flesh. They are cannibals, vampires, and monsters, and they walk among us. These serial killers are not mythical beasts with horns and shaggy hair. They are people living among society, going about their day-to-day activities until nightfall. They are the Dennis Rader's, the fathers, husbands, church-going members of the community.
The Colonial Parkway Murders - the name given eight murders that took place in the Tidewater region in the late 1980s, two of which were on the historic Colonial Parkway, the nation’s narrowest National Park. Young people in the prime of their lives were the targets. But the pattern that stitched this special kind of evil together was more like a spider web of theory, intrigue, and mathematics. Then, mysteriously, the killing spree stopped. Now, father-daughter true crime authors Blaine Pardoe and Victoria Hester blow the dust off of these cases.
A true-crime collection culled from the crime files of the New York Times best-selling series, Notorious USA.

On October 15 1977, Christine Eadie and Helen Scott left the World's End pub after a fun-filled night with two men in their arms. They had their whole lives ahead of them.

Almost every year, we believe that nothing can top the abject horror of the last 12 months when it comes to true crime stories, homicides, execution-style murders, or serial killers that are still on the prowl, leaving behind a trail of blood, tears, and sorrow. Then, of course, the New Year begins.
It is no secret that true crime murder stories are not for the faint of heart. They can lead you to double-check your windows and doors at night, and question everything you thought or believed about human nature. Yet they are intriguing and fascinating at the same time. What is it that makes us different from those who take the lives of others? That is a question that many ask themselves, and these true crime stories help to identify the method and psychology behind some of the most terrifying killers in modern history.

What the beautiful young woman could not know was that she was staring into the eyes of her killer - a savage monster who would rape her, stab her to death, and leave her battered body on the floor outside the bedroom. Detectives frantically sifting through the evidence were tormented by one disturbing question after another....
It is often difficult to comprehend what makes a person kill. But when they kill and then commit further acts of depravity on their victim, it gives a whole new meaning to wrongdoing. In volume three of the True Crime Stories, we examine murderers who have all displayed the same gut-churning, wicked twist - each of them ate their victims. Each of these violent killers is examined in detail, including their backgrounds, the crimes they committed, and how they were brought to justice.
In the summer of 2003, the Houston suburb of Clear Lake, Texas, was devastated when four young residents were viciously slain. The two female victims, Tiffany Rowell and Rachael Koloroutis, were just 18 years old - popular and beloved. But when a killer came knocking, it turned out to be someone they knew all too well. Seventeen-year-old Christine Paolilla was an awkward outsider until the girls befriended her. In this gripping true story, M. William Phelps delves into the heart of a baffling mystery to get to the truth of an act so brutal it could not be understood - until now.

But seven months later, investigators found Jennifer's remains in a Mesa County landfill, and things took a darker turn. While Michael, a respected prayer-group leader, played the part of grieving survivor, authorities became increasingly suspicious.

As always my favorite is true crime it is so mind blowing how other peoples mind work. In this book you will find some shocking crimes but the way they were dealt with is the most shocking. Mr. Rosewood touches on some very horrible crimes that will shock you.
The narrator really bought this audio to life. He gave emotion when he needed to but for the most part he just does it in his normal voice much like someone doing the news which is the way it should be. There are no background noises, no repeating of words, no volume changes just a clean clear audio that I totally enjoyed. He lays it out and lets the listener judge what their emotion will be. This is the first time I have listened to anything by him and look forward to listening to more of his work.
I don’t believe I had heard about any of these crimes. As true crime hog I took it all in enjoying every last word. With the way the world is going today it is good to keep up to date on true crime and maybe by studying it we can save ourselves if it is every our turn.

Jack Rosewood, to me, is the master of short form true crime. He knows just what details to leave in and when to keep the story moving. This anthology is another great one - a series of true crime cases involving the biggest crime of them all: murder. If you love true crime, but you don't have time for a 10 hour book about one case, then the 'True Crime Stories' series is the series for you. These short stories are incredibly compelling to listen to, especially if you're interested in learning more about the minds of people who commit unthinkable crimes.

This collection of twelve stories is a quick and easy read that will keep you transfixed by the cruelty of humanity and the sometimes twisted nature of relationships. I really like the author's ability to condense the complexities of a case into an easily digestible story. Every true crime addict will find something to interest them in these stories.

The narrator's voice was perfect! It was dramatic and clear when speaking. The stories were some things I have heard in the past but had forgotten. I had not had a lot of experience with audible but this was a positive experience. I would recommend this audible to any that want to listen to stories of crimes.

This is an interesting collection of true crime stories. Narration was fantastic. Some of these stories I've never heard of and some I was familiar with but they were all fascinating.

Jack Rosewood has done it again and brought the stories of these true crimes to life. They are each interesting and give outstanding detail. For those that are squimish, these stories are not as graphic as some of the books written by Mr. Rosewood. Great Read!!

I really enjoyed this anthology of true crime. It covered a range of crimes, from child murders, to family annihilators to spousal murders. Rosewood has an ability to male these seem really interesting and I love his writing style. I also really liked the narrator, Kevin Kollins, who really brought these cases to life.

This was the first True Crimes Stories book that I have listened to and I was not disappointed! There were 12 true crimes in this volume and I recognized over half of them from the news stories when they happened.
Each chapter touched on a different crime and they were all well written. The narration was great too!

True Crime Stories, Volume 7 was an interesting, quick listen that covers 12 true crimes that have happened, most of which I had never heard about prior to listening. Oh, and when I say it's a quick listen, I mean really quick. It's 3 hours, but because there are 12 separate crimes detailed in this book, your time spent listening flies by! Each case was presented factually and in an unbiased manner, and you could tell that Mr. Rosewood had done his homework when researching each crime. I appreciated how he covered each case starting off with a bit of background and went through the crime, with surrounding details as they came up, and ended with the aftermath. In the times of 24/7 news media, it's really pretty crazy to hear about many of these crimes not being splattered across the headlines across the US.
This is my first book written by Jack Rosewood as well as my first book narrated by Kevin Kollins. You'll have absolutely no problem understanding Mr. Kollins, as he speaks clearly with a good cadence. As this is book is written in the third person, there are no characters to differentiate between.
