True Crime Case Histories - Volume 11: 12 Disturbing True Crime Stories of Murder, Deception, and Mayhem
12 Disturbing True Crime Stories of Murder and Mayhem
Volume 11 of the True Crime Case Histories Series
*** This series can be read in any order ***
True crime is not for everyone. However, there is a small subset of us that, for some reason or another, finds themselves drawn to true crime stories. Perhaps it’s a desire for truth and justice, an obsession with understanding the criminal mind, or just curiosity about how the cases were solved.
True Crime Case Histories Volume 11 brings to light twelve new stories spanning the past fifty years, exposing the dark realities of human behavior.
A sampling of the stories
The Magnificent Gentleman - In a seaside California town, a troubled young man with psychological issues, racism, deep-seated resentment, and misogynistic beliefs carried out a horrific rampage, targeting women and innocent bystanders as a violent expression of his distorted worldview.
Hidden Betrayals - A successful interior designer uncovers a shocking betrayal when she learns that someone she trusted her entire life has secretly amassed a collection of her intimate photos, prompting her to take drastic measures to ensure he pays the ultimate price for his actions.
A Twisted Triangle - A seemingly perfect suburban family takes a dark turn when a woman falls in love with another woman, leading to a deadly rampage.
The Sunday School Teacher - The disappearance of an eight-year-old girl triggers a harrowing investigation when a Sunday School teacher uncovers a cryptic note that guides authorities to a horrifying scene.
Bloodstained Secrets - A small town in Ohio was shocked by the discovery of a body in the basement of a suburban home, leading the police on a complex investigation tangled with secrets, deceit, and a web of hidden relationships.
The Leg Thing - A young man of seventeen who derived immense pleasure from the sound of someone else's bones breaking.
Room 3109 - A wealthy and privileged British Investment Banker, in a cocaine-fueled rage, lured young women to his opulent Hong Kong hi-rise apartment only to brutally torture and kill them while he videotaped the mayhem.
Plus many more disturbing stories.
The stories in this volume are terrifying and represent human behavior at its absolute worst. Pure evil. However, these things really happen in the world and we shouldn’t ignore that fact. We may never understand what goes on in a killer’s mind, but at least we can be better informed.
We may never really understand what goes on inside the mind of a killer, but at least by studying the case histories and knowing their backstory, we might gain insight into what makes them tick. With any luck, we can learn from the past.

2018 52 Book Challenge - 19) A Book With A Six Word Title
Each of these volumes gets better and better. I didn't know any of the cases, and it was nice how, while most of it was American-centric, there were cases abroad, especially ones that were not in Europe.

This series keeps getting better
A school shooter who's deadly plan immediately went wrong, an innocent 3-year-old entrusted into the care of her 14-year-old cousin suffered trauma no child should ever endure, and a pair of brothers demonstrate that teens often don't have solid plans for the aftermath of a mass killing. Luckily they were easily caught but the bloody carnage they inflicted was brutal and unjustified.
Innocent victims lost their lives because of the demented plans of two misfits.
Robert Keller discusses young murderers in Volume 11 of his Killer Kids series. How sometimes it's a terrible home life that drive the killers to attack others. Fear / anxiety is another factor. But when Keller talks about the victims he gives his reader a glimpse of the horrors they suffered. Whether it's several life sentences or after a Supreme Court ruling Life with the possibility of Parole after a few decades in prison these teens lives were ruined by their own emotional and often remorseless callous actions.

Captivating
I love reading true crime books and this series by Jason Neal is my favorite. I have yet to be disappointed or read a case that I have seen or heard about in any other book or shows. Love the concise format he uses that quickly covers the details of each case. Highly recommend to any true crime fan. I think the last case in this batch was the most interesting because it was in a country I know so little about the culture. I look forward to the next one, one of few authors on my auto-buy list.

Very interesting
I think that it was very interesting because I had never heard of the murders before and it made me think about just how much evil there is in this world that we don't know about.

Hate saying I love these because I always think I sound sadistic but I love them in the way the author collects so much intel and information so that we hear about the abysmal people that committed the crimes they did that we otherwise wouldn't of known.
Another interesting read, I was missing the pictures this time though compared to the previous books (of the people not the crime obviously).

Some very gruesome stories. Also, it was a little jarring that some of the stories were told with a personal twist diving deep into the psyche of the killer, while other stories barely scratched the surface.

Was a page turner, a few grammarical errors but all in all a well written book. When is the next one coming out?

Gruesome But Fascinating
I do not recommend reading this unless you are sure that you like to read true crime stories. It is indeed gruesome, though quite fascinating.

Good
Another great book full of information. Some cases I've heard of some cases I haven't but it's always a good read.
