Publisher's summary

Can’t get enough of gruesome true crime stories and endless turn of events? Then this book is for you.  

In the following true crime anthology, you will be introduced to some of the most tragic crime cases in modern history. The 12 crimes profiled in this volume will keep you listening, although sometimes due to the shocking nature you will undoubtedly not want to listen....

The primary theme of this volume is youth violence and some of the factors that have driven kids to kill. Some of the reasons were as shocking as the crimes themselves, such as the case of the two 13-year-old boys who killed one of the boy’s grandmother so they could buy some marijuana and have a pizza party. You will also listen to tales of teens who killed just for fun, such as Don Collins, while the motives for other teen murderers remain a mystery.  

The tragic case of the murder of the Doss family highlights that sometimes people, even teenagers, don’t need a reason to kill. Along with the profiles of teen killers are other chapters that examine cold case murder mysteries and other cases that can only be described as strange or bizarre. No matter the content, each of the 12 chapters are riveting and will keep you wanting to continue to listen.

So come along for a journey into the depraved criminal mind. The world you are about to enter may frighten and shock you, but you will also be intrigued as you learn what makes some of the worst killers tick…

Hug your kids tight before and after listening

Second true crime book I’ve listened to and quite a bit different as this focuses a little bit of time on 12 different cases and not just one individual. They all have a common thread of involving children. As a father, I have a really hard time listening to stories about crimes committed against children, fortunately there are only a few here. As a parent, I get angry listening to stories about bad children committing crimes. So all of these stories were invoking all kinds of different emotions within me.
For a newbie to true crime I really enjoyed this anthology. It told enough of each story to get me interested and act as a nice introduction to each case for me to get intrigued and then go do further research. I hadn’t heard about any of these killers and was constantly pausing to look them up. As a person who believes that safety is one owns responsibility, listening to these stories really made me realize how anyone, even unlikely suspects, can snap and start killing. Made me think more about safety in everyday situations. I definitely want to go back and check out some of the early anthologies, providing they don’t make me even more paranoid.
Kevin Kollins is a great narrator for this type of book. First time I had listened to him and hope it won’t be the last.
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Interesting

All the stories that follow in this book are shocking and horrible making the reader wonder what the world is coming to when teens kill for fun just wanting to know what it feels like. When all is said and done they have no remorse and no feelings. I for one do not understand how anyone can kill unless it is life or death. Children should make their own money not expect for their parents to pay their way but when a child doesn’t want to wait for them to die but kill them. I never will understand how people think they can get away with these things. It is so shocking and sad. There are mean crimes here each with a different reason. They are interesting, shocking, some you even wonder how they can be real.

Mr. Kollins did a wonderful job on the narration. He did a few character voices which were really good but most of the book is about facts and there is no need for the different voices. He has a very pleasant voice that really adds to the detail of this audio. He gave the facts as they are but with interest like he really enjoyed learning the facts as much as I did. There are no repeats of words, nor any background noise, there are no volume changes. The music fits the story when it is used it isn’t over powering and blends very well. I thought his performance was great and he added a lot to the story with his tones and emotions. I look forward to listening to more of his work.

The author always gives me a very good listen with facts as they are. He makes his audios interesting as he shows you the twists and turns of a real criminal. If you are a true crime junky like me this is one of the books you do not want to miss. It is interesting, holds your attention, the author lays it out from month to month as he gives you the true facts, the outcome and lets you decided if you feel the verdict was right.

Very good serial killer book

I did not dislike anything about the book I I have downloaded other books like this and was not impressed I liked his book and will download more by this author

Another great Jack Olsen book.

Not much else to say. Jack draws you in and Kevin is really bringing it to life. I recommend this and all his other books if you are interested in crime and some back story. I received this book for free in exchange for a voluntary unbiased review.

Victoria Palmer's Review.

True Crime Stories is like getting the thorough facts of a news story, but told with heart and brought to stunning life by the narration of Kevin Kollins. I was blessed held captive by the suspenseful thriller form each case was presented with. Very well done. I recommend it to all True Crime buffs and fans.

very interesting read!

Definitely keeps you interested, so you'll want to keep reading. Love the true crime stores. However, they are very sad because they are true.

Great Book

True Crime Stories Volume 10: 12 Shocking True Crime Murder Cases by Jack Rosewood was a great read. This is another great anthology of twelve of the most heinous murder crimes. I can't wait to read more by Jack Rosewood.

Great True Crime, Chilling, Great Book!

I found this very intriguing, I'm a big true crime buff and really enjoy these types of books. It's even more shocking/creepy when it's young people doing it.... it's hard to imagine such horror coming from such a young mind. I really enjoy reading about what makes criminals' minds tick, and this was a great addition. Enjoyed the writing and narration, if you like true crime I think you'll like this one. Give it a listen! Not too long, great for the commute. :)

Great book, yet again

I didn't know there could people so young killing. Even more shocking was, to find out they were not troubled kids!

It was a great insight on youth violence.

very informative

This is a true crime book about 12 real murder cases. The murders in this book are children. This book is a bit hard to listen to at times. The case of Jeffery Franklin is really hard. He premeditated killing his whole family, but no known reason for doing it.

The book is pretty in-depth It gives some before during and after facts.

I would of liked a different narrator. Kevin Collins wasn't terrible but he was just reading a script. There were no feelings or emotion put into the reading.

I was given my copy of this book at my request and voluntarily chose to leave this review.

Crazy

Jack Rosewood knows his stuff, you can tell that he does his research and only stops when there is no more to learn about each case.
To think about all the police reports, courts papers is maddening and after all that to summarize it all and put it on paper he must be a little crazy himself and very dedicated.
Truly excellent work and narration by Kevin Kollins was an excellent choice for this book.

Recommended !!!

I’ve got this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I found this instalment of the True Crime Stories series really interesting. It focussed mainly on youth crime, which is quickly gaining momentum in society. It was interesting (and kinda horrifying) to listen to the various reasons that these kids had for committing the crimes that they did.

The cases themselves were quite interesting. I think Rosewood has a talent for picking crimes to talk about that can pull people in to listening. Though, the first crime discussed in this book was committed in my home town, and as much as I really like Kevin Kollins as a narrator, he completely butchered the pronunciation of the town name.
