Twelve From Hell: The Ultimate True Crime Case Collection (12-Book True Crime Collections 1) was a great read by Ryan Green. This set consists of; Obeying Evil: The Mockingbird Hill Massacre Through the Eyes of a Killer, The Truro Murders: The Sex Killing Spree Through the Eyes of an Accomplice, Sinclair: The World's End Murders Through the Eyes of a Killer, You Think You Know Me: The True Story of Herb Baumeister and the Horror at Fox Hollow Farm, Torture Mom: A Chilling True Story of Confinement, Mutilation and Murder, Man-Eater: The Terrifying True Story of Cannibal Killer Katherine Knight, Trust Me: The True Story of Confession Killer Henry Lee Lucas, Black Widow: The True Story of Giggling Granny Nannie Doss, Harold Shipman: The True Story of Britain’s Most Notorious Serial Killer, Colombian Killers: The True Stories of the Three Most Prolific Serial Killers on Earth, Fred & Rose West: Britain’s Most Infamous Killer Couple, and The Kurim Case: A Terrifying True Story of Child Abuse, Cults & Cannibalism. This Ultimate True Crime Case Collection contains disturbing accounts of some of the most brutal and bizarre true crime stories in history. Obeying Evil: The Mockingbird Hill Massacre Through the Eyes of a Killer (True Crime) was another good true crime book by Ryan Green. Ronald Gene Simmons went on the most disturbing family killing spree in the United States. In 1987 he spent a week murdering fourteen members of his family, a former co-worker and one stranger. When he retired after twenty years of service in the Air Force, his life was full of instability. He wanted to have complete control of his family. This was another great true crime audiobook for any fan of true crime. The Truro Murders: The Sex Killing Spree Through the Eyes of an Accomplice was a good true crime story by Ryan Green. It is the shocking true crime story of Christopher Worrel and James Miller. James Miller was the accomplice to one of the worst serial killing sprees in Australia. In two months, from 1976 to 1977, there were seven women who were raped and murdered. The two men met in prison and it started a strange relationship. This book follows their meeting, killings and how they were discovered. I enjoyed this audiobook and can't wait to read more true crime stories by Ryan Green. Sinclair: The World's End Murders through the Eyes of a Killer was another good read by Ryan Green. In October of 1977, Christine and Helen left the World's End pub with two men. Unfortunately the next day their naked bodies are found. They were beaten, gagged, tied, raped and strangled; and there was no attempt to conceal their bodies. Due to DNA profiling advances, investigators in Scotland linked Angus Sinclair to the murders. Although it isn't known how many victims he had, it is thought to be at least six but it could be twice that. You Think You Know Me: The True Stroy of Herb Baumeister and the Horror at Fox Hollow Farm was another good true crime story by Ryan Green. In 1994, Erich Baumeister was playing in the woods at his home when he stumbled upon a partially buried human skeleton. He brought it to his mom's attention who asked her husband Herb about it. He claimed it belong to his father for research purposes. His wife believed him but she became more and more concerned over the next eighteen months. Herb went on vacation in 1996 and she granted police access to their property. Police discovered the remains of eleven bodies. Herb shot himself after news got out of the discovery. This was a good read for anyone who likes true crime stories. Torture Mom: A Chilling True Story of Confinement, Mutilation and Murder (True Crime) by Ryan Green was a good read. As a disclaimer I will say that this book has a few very cringe moments and has some very graphic moments. Sylvia and Jenny were left in the care of Gertrude in 1965. This book followed the horrifying true crime at the hands of Gertrude and the kids in her care. Man-Eater: Terrifying True Story of Cannibal Killer Katherine Knight was a great true crime story by Ryan Green. This book follows Katherine Knight from her upbringing to the day she committed a chilling murder. John Price took a restraining order out on Knight and later that day he told his co-workers if he ever goes missing its because Knight killed him. The next day would prove to show that Price was right because Knight heinously murdered him. Trust Me: The True Story of Confession Killer Henry Lee Lucas (True Crime) was a good read by Ryan Green. Henry Lee Lucas was arrested on June 5, 1983 for unauthorized possession of a hand gun. The police applied pressure to him because they believed that he was linked to the disappearance of two girls. He was in their custody for four days and wound up confessing to the killings. In the next few months, he confessed to hundreds of more murders. This was a good read into a bizarre and gruesome true crime story. Black Widow: The True Story of Giggling Granny Nannie Doss was a good true crime story by Ryan Green. In 1927, Charley came home to his wife, Nannie, and children to find two of his children dead. They said it was food poisoning but Charley didn't believe that to be true and didn't feel safe around his wife. He took their oldest daughter in the middle of the night and ran. The community supported Nannie after the death's and what Charley did.,Unfortunately this was just the beginning of the people close to Nannie who would die. This was a good account of one of the most shocking true crime stories in American history. Harold Shipman by Ryan Green was The True Story of Britain's Most Notorious Serial Killer. This book follows Harold Shipman. Shipman became a doctor and used his position to kill around 218 of his own patients. Colombian Killers: The True Stories of the Three Most Prolific Serial Killers on Earth (True Crime, Serial Killers, Murderers) by Ryan Green was a good read. This book followed Luis Alfredo Garavito, Pedro Alonzo Lopez and Daniel Camargo Barbosa. These are three men who committed some heinous crimes. Fred & Rose West: Britain's Most Infamous Killer Couples (True Crime, Serial Killers, Murderers) by Ryan Green was a good read. This book followed the lives of Fred and Rose West who were Britain's most infamous killers. These two inflicted years of abuse to their children and their house became known as "The House of Horrors". The Kurim Case: A Terrifying True Story of Child Abuse, Cults & Cannibalism was another good true crime story by Ryan Green. In the Czech Republic, in 2007 a glitch in a baby monitor revealed terrible child abuse. This is a case that captivated the nation as all the grisley details were revealed. The young boys suffered confinement, mutilation, psychological brutality and cannibalism by many people including their mother and sister. This is a story that will take you on a roller coaster of emotions. This is a good book for any true crime fan, I can't wait to read more by Ryan Green.

A true treasure trove of terror…

This compilation of stories representing the first twelve case studies undertaken by the author will undoubtedly provide hours of engrossing reading for any enthusiast of the true crime genre. Contained within these pages are detailed accounts of truly horrifying but absolutely true events showcasing the depths of inhumanity that some people are capable of inflicting on their fellow man. The book blurb succinctly itemizes which perpetrators of misery and mayhem are featured within but only after reading a few of the stories can you truly begin to appreciate the grim and gruesome reality imposed by the few upon the many. I felt the earlier stories were a bit more traditional and clinical in their approach but, regardless, provided a thorough and well-researched account of some truly despicable individuals and their heinous crimes. It did not take long for the stories to begin to reflect a burgeoning new style of writing which has propelled Ryan Green to the top of his chosen field. Often writing from the viewpoint of the killer or a close associate/accomplice, his signature style deftly combines witness accounts, police and court records, and astute psychological conjecture which unfailingly results in a vividly detailed and incredibly compelling account of the subject and their horrendous transgressions. While I was amazed and horrified by the actions taken by these seriously damaged individuals, I felt the considerable attention given to their past traumas and experiences, in many cases, provided at least a modicum of explanation for their shocking behavior. Precious few true crime writers provide as much historical background and psychological analysis as Mr. Green and that, in my opinion, places his work among the very best of the genre. I highly recommend this book and believe it to be well worth your investment of time and money.

I was lucky enough to be sent this audiobook collection from the author, Ryan Green, in exchange for an honest review! Oh…my….geez! Shew! My ratings have a lot to cover: Stars? 5/5 writing FOR SURE! + Sickening = 3/5 + Suspense = 3/5. HOWEVER, the Narrators get two separate ratings: Ernie Sprance 5/5 stars while Steve White 3/5 stars. That’s me, personally. I’m super sensitive to sounds & some of the noises made by Mr White hurt my ears to the point I would have to take a minute to recover.
•
There’s just so much to say about this collection! Cases covered:

~ Nannie Doss…why are giggling grannies inherently creepy?
~ The Mockingbird Hill Massacre…definition of a man who’s snapped.
~ The Truro Murders…No man could have this kind of power over me!
~ Gertrude Baniszewski…The house party you never can leave 🫣
~ Angus Sinclair…I would become a hermit if I lived in Scotland at the time.
~ Fox Hollow Farm…The Midwest is where interstate killers apparently flock to.
~ Henry Lee Lucas… you know him & Ottis Toole but do you know the extent of their insanity😳
~ The Kurim Case…those poor boys never had a chance😭
~ Katherine Knight…she was way too casual for her crimes!
~ Harold Frederick Shipman…this one got to me-he looks like my neurologist & my grandfather’s name is Harold.
~ Fred & Rose West…The House of Horrors is right! - **very graphic**
~ Colombian Killers…WHAT?! Between them, they were convicted of 329 murders, but it’s believed that the number they committed is over 750?!

I have been recommending this to everyone I know that enjoys reading about true crime.

3 1/2 would be more accurate! There were 37 hrs. plus of being in Serial Killer hell, LOL.

Most of the Stories I already knew but you do get some personal tidbits and opinions thrown in that haven't be covered elsewhere.
At least the narrators kept even the same old facts interesting and fun! That probably wouldn't be the case if I had read an e-version or a hardcopy.

The story of Henry Lee Lucas with Otis Toole I think was my favorite. I was familiar because of the Adam Walsh abduction but didn't have any details on them as separate individuals. I also skipped the "Torture Mom" story. I have a couple of books and have seen multiple versions of movies on that subject and still can't believe the outcome.

A couple of the stories were unfamiliar to me and held my attention i.e. The Kurim Case, Obeying Evil, The Truro Murders and Sinclair. The last story titled Black Widow was very interesting and entertaining. After listening to that one, I didn't want the book to end.

Overall not a bad listen would be great on a long trip or commute but it does cover more infamous killers than the unknowns.

[Edie Kennard · Rating 5 out of 5]

This collection contains twelve books, and the initial ones are fairly typical true crime stories – nothing particularly remarkable. However, the writing style shifts noticeably. The later books adopt a more narrative, almost fictional approach, drawing you into the story before unleashing the brutal realities of the crimes. This contrast heightens the emotional impact, making the true nature of the events even more disturbing. The graphic descriptions are unflinching and can be extremely difficult to read. As a visual reader, I found the detailed accounts created vivid, unsettling mental images that were hard to shake. If you're considering this collection, be warned: it's not for the faint of heart and is emotionally taxing. Two particularly disturbing stories were "Torture Mom: A Chilling True Story of Confinement, Mutilation and Murder" and "Trust Me: The True Story of Confession Killer Henry Lee Lucas."

[Tamika Maree · Rating 5 out of 5]

I normally do not review much. I read mostly true crime and how can you review something that is factually true.
The 12 cases in this book were all chilling. Im from Australia so I have read lots about 2 cases that are featured, but yet reading the cases from another author made me sad, angry and still feeling like these crimes were in the top 20 cases that make me sick. They were all very in-depth and I enjoyed how the author made my skin crawl explaining some of the cases, especially Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis O'Toole
If you are after a lot of information, feeling emotional attachment in all forms, this book is for you.
On to the next 12.

Audiobook Format Review - This was a brilliant collection of true stories about killers from Fred & Rose West to Harold Shipman and various other not well known killers. Each story has a lot of information about the killer and crimes committed. Graphic and disturbing ! The narration is great and really hooks you into each story.

[Oscar Lilley · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5
Kind of a guilty pleasure to read casually about the misfortune of others. Most of the profiles were entirely new to me and enjoyable despite, or sadly because of, the heinous nature of their crimes.

[Patricia Farmer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very interesting book

Very in depth of the killer's crimes, as well as, background information about the murders themselves, a must read for the true crime enthusiast.

[Michael T. Perkinson · Rating 2 out of 5]

Too much detail and psychobabble for me.

[LORRIE · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting

These were intriguing and disturbing. It's terrible the lengths some people will go to inflict pain and suffering. It's really sad

[Cassie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Man, this was a beast to get through! The cases covered in this collection are wide and varied, but the author carries a very distinct voice and narrative style throughout. Though I do find the close-up perspectives we get from the perpetrators entertaining, I will say they take away the authentic feel of some of the cases. That's not a critique of these works specifically—I find this to be true for me in all true crime media when scenes are dramatized/fictionalized. My only other major dislike is that there are numerous explicit scenes of sexual violence in nearly every book, and they more often than not tip into fetishization than simple portrayal. Even though we're seeing these from the perspective of the perpetrator, I feel like it's in poor taste to turn these real-life rapes and murders into something that comes across like it's trying to titillate rather than inform or even entertain. Overall, though, I did enjoy this, but I will absolutely be breaking up the books individually in the future!

It's great to see Green embracing the possibilities of the audiobook format. At 1 gig, this would be like an encyclopedia set in print yet comfortable fits on my cell phone. I recall when when I first started to enjoy digital audiobooks two decades ago I would not have been able to accommodate such a massive load of bytes while I would have been excited to have this back content then.

This was also my first opportunity to take in Obeying Evil: The Mockingbird Hill Massacre Through the Eyes of a Killer. In Green's style, he explores the murderer's POV and this is a gruesome one; incest as prelude to a familicide (a multiple-victim homicide where a killer's spouse and children are slain).

Mass murderer and spree killer Ron Simmons Sr. killed 16 people over a week-long period in Arkansas in 1987. The retired military serviceman did in fourteen members of his family, including a daughter he had sexually abused and the child he had fathered with her, as well as a former co-worker, and a stranger.

Interestingly, after Simmons was sentenced to death sixteen times, he refusing to appeal his sentence expressing the appropriateness of his capital punishment. Like in other cases like this, the concerns of appeals and precedence in American jurisprudence delayed execution until June 25, 1990.

Other members of this dire dozen which I have reviewed elsewhere include:

* Harold Shipman: The True Story of Britain's Most Notorious Serial Killer
* Colombian Killers: The True Stories of the Three Most Prolific Serial Killers on Earth
* Fred & Rose West: Britain's Most Infamous Killer Couples
* The Kuřim Case: A Terrifying True Story of Child Abuse, Cults & Cannibalism
* The Truro Murders: The Sex Killing Spree Through the Eyes of an Accomplice
* Sinclair: The World's End Murders Through the Eyes of a Killer
* You Think You Know Me: The True Story of Herb Baumeister and the Horror at Fox Hollow Farm
* Torture Mom: A Chilling True Story of Confinement, Mutilation and Murder
* Man-Eater: The Terrifying True Story of Cannibal Killer Katherine Knight
* Trust Me: The True Story of Confession Killer Henry Lee Lucas
* Black Widow: The True Story of Giggling Granny Nannie Doss

I do wish the books narrated by Ernie Sprance had been redone with a new narrator, such as narrator Steve White also used here.

[I was gratefully provided with a copy of this engaging book in exchange for an honest review.]]

[Kimberly · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have heard the basics on these killers, but Ryan Green dives in to the truly gruesome facts of the killers. At one point, in a few of the stories, I had to put down the book and walk away for a few days. His books are no history lesson. They are not for the easily disturbed. If you choose to read them, be forwarned this is not TV's highlighting the Serial Killers life in 30 minutes, It's dumpster diving to the very core of these depraved monsters.

[Farah Zeidan · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love me some true crime. Every book just got worse and worse regarding to what the people did. I was disgusted by some of these stories. ESPECIALLY about that couple in England or whatever pit of hell they’re from.

[Terry Hollingsworth · Rating 4 out of 5]

You get your money's worth with this book. Every story is well written and good. I loved this book. The stories and long and interesting. The amount of content is amazing. I read the second book in the series too and it doesn't disappoint. They are both great books.
