2024 52 Book Challenge - 29) Published In The Year Of The Dragon
I love these books, I think they're brilliant, and I love that the cases are nearly always cases that the average person wouldn't know.
However, this latest book falls a little flat to me because it feels like it has a lot more cases that don't feel like they have any answers. Either the reason why the murders occurred, or bodies aren't found, or the murderer not found.

Another great addition
This is a fabulous series. The author writes of cases happening in different eras and countries which makes many of them more obscure. I think I only knew of one of the cases in this volume previously. He doesn't hold back on the grisly details which doesn't feel salacious, just informative. The color pictures available in the appendix are greatly appreciated. I look forward to each new contribution to this series. If you like Robert Keller or Les MacDonald you will most likely want to binge this author.

Interesting and disirbing
Wow. The last one in this set really got to me. So sad when there's no real resolution. Jason Neal does a great job presenting interesting cases that are not already well known. I can't decide if I'm more disturbed by the cases or the fact that there are 12 volumes in this series with more to come, and these are a mere fraction of the books available on the subject matter. Far too many people are truly horrible beings. But it does make for interesting reading. Who needs fictional murder mysteries when there's so much out there that is real?

Slight change--why are photos not in book?
Haven't seen it recently in this author's books; but, the writing style changes in chapter Tennessee. Neal's writing style has matured and improved muchly since his early works so I wasn't expecting such a style break. But at least photos are accessible even if you can't view them easily congruent with reading the book.

I say the same every time but these books are so good, full of facts about each case, you can tell all of the research that goes into each and every case.
And yes I will read every single one that comes out 😊.
