Love true crime

I was given this book for an honest, unbiased opinion and review. I am a true crime addict and this book was good. I do feel like it wasn't in depth enough. With that being said, I don't usually like the condensed versions because I like the detail that comes with dedication to one story. I did however like the way it was written and it hit the high points of all crimes discussed.

Kept my attention

I have been a true crime fan for over 35 years. Feel like I've read or watched about as much as anyone can and there were still stories in this one that were new to me. The stories were concise but still informative. Just the way I like them.

Well Known True Crimes

Like most true crime stories I found it a little slow and not as captivating as fiction. But it was all in all worth listening to. I'm just not really into these type of stories.

Creepy, Real life Murders

Where does True Crime Stories Volume 4 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have to say I wanted to keep listening, can't explain why but it kept my interest.

I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.

another great story by Jack rosewood

love his stories about serial killers narrator Thomas stone did a great job I received this book from the author for a honest review and unbiased opinion via audio book boom dot com

Great short and sweet tales of true crimes

If you could sum up True Crime Stories Volume 4 in three words, what would they be?

Great, Short, Fascinating

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

All the true short stories told in an excellent knowledgeable perspective.

What does Thomas Stone bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

There were times and I hope it wasn't just me but I could've sworn that there were two narrators instead of one. He does an excellent job of keeping you engaged with the stories.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No real movement but I did enjoy the stories that took place in North Carolina since that's where I live now.

Any additional comments?

I have never read any of the other True Crime stories but after listening to this one I will definitely check them out. "I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom."

Any additional comments?

This was another great true crime book from Jack Rosewood...Ive been enjoying the whole series...I received this book for review

Equal quality to volumes 1-3

Upon receiving the audio version of this book through LibraryThing's member giveaway, I was pleased that this volume meets the same level of solid narration and easy listening. As with the previous three volumes there is an interesting introduction which gives the listener or reader a framework to understand the social situation of the victim and the historical context. This volume includes the Chandra Levy and Amanda Knox cases, and when each was introduced I honestly thought I was fed up with hearing about them. I ended up impressed that new-to-me information was given and there was an impartial and succinct summary of necessary information. This leads me to believe other cases I have had no prior knowledge of are equally presented with objectiveness. I look forward to future works of Mr. Rosewood.

Just ok, in my opinion.

What did you like best about True Crime Stories Volume 4? What did you like least?

I liked the foreign stories the best because I had little exposure to them, except for the Knox case which we've all had plenty of exposure to.

I didn't read Vol 1 - 3 so I didn't know the format going into it. I expected more in depth accounts but each case felt more like a high level summary. It reminded me of the podcasts Sword & Scale or Generation Why. Like a one hour highlights of each story. Those are fine and entertaining and so was most of this book, I just had expected more.

If you’ve listened to books by Jack Rosewood before, how does this one compare?

I hadn't so I had no reference point.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Yes but I found the narrators accent odd and distracting. Like he has a thick somewhere accent but was trying to be neutral while reading. When little things would slip in I'd find my mind wander from the story and think "Oh, he's from Boston" and then ten minutes later say "Oh no, he's from Alabama." I'd never encountered that from a narrator before.

Could you see True Crime Stories Volume 4 being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

There are entire tv channels devoted to just this topic.

Any additional comments?

I received this book for free in exchange for an impartial review. I don't think I would have kept this book had I purchased it but if I came across it in a library or something it would be worth a listen.

Interesting stories but needed different narrator.

Would you consider the audio edition of True Crime Stories Volume 4 to be better than the print version?

I didn't read the printed version

What other book might you compare True Crime Stories Volume 4 to and why?

None

Would you be willing to try another one of Thomas Stone’s performances?

I don't think so. His accent, or accents, was difficult. He was so distracting it was hard to keep focused on the stories. It seemed like his accent kept changing so it just repeatedly threw me off the stories.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I like these types of books. I am into true crime stories so I didn't really have any strong reactions.
