I live in one of the most beautiful places in Florida, Jupiter, with my wife, two kids and our golden retriever, Vincent. I've been a full time author for the last 15 years and I wouldn't trade it against anything in the world!
My father was a journalist and wrote about some of the worst crimes you could ever imagine, and that's where my big interest from serial killers and other horrible crimes comes from. Just to hear my father talk about the evil acts of Ted Bundy as we were out fishing as a kid are some of my best memories.
The Ultimate True Crime Puzzle Book: Over 100 Killer Activities for True Crime and Serial Killer Fanatics was a great book by Jack Rosewood. This book is full of interesting questions, trivia and puzzles. I enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to read more by the author.
I enjoyed testing my knowledge on all things true crime and learning new facts that I haven’t heard before. This book has hundreds of activities and all sorts of different categories which I liked that it wasn’t all one topic.
Favourite Quote: True Crime has exploded in popularity in the last decade. It seems like you can’t do anything without being met with a never-ending list of podcasts, documentaries, books, movies, and TV series dedicated to both short overview and scarily detailed deep dives into every true crime topic know to man.
Favourite: Quote: What makes these stories so interesting? Some would say it’s simply morbid curiosity. We gawk at the grotesque and wonder how another human being could think and act so wildly different from the rest of us. Others consider it a form of protection; maybe knowing how the enemy thinks and moves could guard us against them.
I thought I had seen it all in the world of true crime, but The True Crime Puzzle Book by Jack Rosewood shattered my expectations in the most chilling way possible. From the moment I cracked it open, I braced myself for cryptic puzzles, macabre details, and a descent into the minds of the world’s most infamous killers. What I did not prepare for, what no one could have possibly prepared for, was the shocking revelation that a serial killer, locked away for their crimes, had somehow carved out a career as an audiobook narrator from inside prison walls. It was disturbing, ridiculous, and yet undeniably fascinating.
Each puzzle tested my knowledge in ways I never imagined, challenging me to piece together details that I’d thought were buried in the back of my mind. What really surprised me was just how much I already knew, which was absolutely terrifying. This book didn’t just entertain; it proved that my fascination with true crime has given me a well-honed instinct for the facts and figures behind some of history’s most infamous criminals.
Despite the mountain of details embedded in the puzzles themselves, I couldn’t shake the feeling that a glossary or index on each killer mentioned would have made this experience even richer. A quick reference sharing crazy facts about each individual case would have been the perfect companion to the brainteasers throughout the book.
In the end, this was a wild ride, equal parts frustrating, fascinating, and surprisingly educational. It defied my expectations at every turn, leaving me with more than a few moments of awe. If you’re looking for a book that challenges your true crime knowledge while keeping you on your toes, this one certainly delivers. Just be prepared for a few unexpected twists along the way.
