Welcome back to Unsolved Serial Killers, the third volume with 10 more bone-chilling and nightmare-inducing cases of serial killers you've never heard of, and the victims whose names were either never discovered or have been forgotten over time.
Featuring 10 more of the most shocking and notorious serial killers who were never caught, take a ride from coast to coast, and relive the terrible crimes that rocked perfectly normal communities and shattered their sense of security as they encountered firsthand the depravity of mankind.
With detailed investigative reports and psychological profiles of the killers who set out to claim helpless victims for one reason or another, the following crimes will keep you resisting the pauses.
Enter the world of history’s most ruthless unknown killers and the people whose lives they cut short in Unsolved Serial Killers, Volume 3. And, be warned.
Unsolved Serial Killers Volume 3 is a chilling yet fascinating read that dives deep into some of the most disturbing and mysterious cases in true crime history. D.R. Werner has a gift for pulling the reader in with a careful balance of research, storytelling, and psychological detail. Each case is presented with enough background to give you a full picture without dragging the pace, making it both informative and gripping.
What I loved most is the way Werner humanizes not just the victims, but also the investigators who worked tirelessly on these haunting cases. The book leaves you unsettled but also deeply intrigued—reminding you that sometimes truth is stranger and more terrifying than fiction. The writing style is clear and accessible, with just enough suspense to keep you turning pages late into the night.
The only reason I held back from a full 5 stars is that a couple of the cases left me wanting even more depth and follow-up details. Still, this minor point doesn’t take away from how absorbing the book is overall.
If you’re a true crime fan who thrives on the eerie unknown and the lingering mysteries of unsolved cases, this volume is a must-read. It’s the kind of book that sticks with you long after you close the final page.
Finally got round to reading volume 3. This volume contains ten more unsolved cases.
These cases are:
🔪 The Route 29 Stalker and Missing Persons Cases 🔪 The Seven Bridges Killer AKA The Edgecombe County Serial Killer 🔪 The Santa Rosa Hitchhiker Murders 🔪 The Tube Sock Killings 🔪 The New Bedford Highway Killer AKA The Lisbon Ripper 🔪 The Atlanta Lover's Lane Murders 🔪 The Flat Tire Murders AKA The Florida Canal Murders 🔪 The Bag Murders 🔪 Connecticut River Valley Killer 🔪 Charlie Chop-off
I actually haven't heard of any of these cases before so it has been delightful to read something I haven't even heard of before!
I do hope any of the individuals who are still missing and presumed dead are found either alive or that their remains are found so the families can have some closure and/or lay them to rest. I can't imagine what they are going through right now.
Definitely could use a few more proofreading passes as misspellings are evident and grammar is occasionally nonsensical, but interesting and informative, if a little grammatically confusing.
Although this is a quick read, it is very dry and reads like a boring text book! Some of these stories would have been more interesting if more detail would have been given.
