So after reading the first book in this series, I ordered nine more. These are super short and a very quick read. They give you some insight into some crazy cases.
Two things I had a problem with while reading. The first being that this is in major need of an editor. I realize it's independently published, but there were so many mistakes not to mention that in the review. Secondly, there was some information that I felt was missing from some of the cases such as age of the victim(s), a little bit of background about the culprit, and other things that I ended up googling to get the answer to. I just feel as though some things should have been mentioned to give a more brief synopsis to the case itself.
I do also wish there were pictures included of the victim(s). While I do appreciate seeing who the killer is that is being discussed, I would've liked to see the victim photographs as well.
That being said, I knew about half of these cases. The other half were introduced to me for the first time. Some of these were wild and that's why I enjoy reading true crime. It peaks my interest to see just how evil people can be. I'll continue to read these as they are still fun to read.

Some old, some new, some familiar, some I had never heard about. This book covers 18 cases of murder most vile.
There are some errors that could have been corrected before publishing with competent proofreading. However, I would recommend this book and the other volumes to anyone who enjoys reading about true crime.

This author rocks
Some true crime anthologies reek of terrible editing and blase stories. Keller's do not! He writes about some of the best known and intriguing cases. Even though I have read many of the stories in full length form his books are still worth perusal. I love that "An American Tragedy" was included in this volume. So enjoyable.

Just When You Think You Know the Whole Story
I realize that because I read a great deal of True Crime & watch many documentary programs on the subject I will come across some of the same cases repeatedly. What I like about Mr. Keller is that he is able to sprinkle just enough new material so that I never get bored or feel like I'm wasting my time when I read his various series but in particular Murder Most Vile.
It's always enlightening when I can say, "Wow! I've never heard of that crime before." Some killers think they are so clever but the slow machinations of justice most often prevail. As I've stated before - I don't like to read about Unsolved Murders. Life can be scary enough without the thought of murderers just waiting for their opportunity to pounce on you. Mr. Keller delivers in Volume 2 of this series.

I found the stories in the second volume to be less interesting than those in the first, but still good. Clear and concise.

Excellent stories including some notorious killers. Robert Keller improves with each book you read. In this volume he adds much more detail of the solving of the crimes than in previous Keller books. The stories here include the mass murder by Richard Speck, the case of Lester Gillette (Theodore Dreiser utilized this case to write his magnificent An American Tragedy), Neville Heath, Lizzie Borden (did you know she was 33 when she murdered her parents?) and the story of Pauline Parker and Juliette Hulme. These two killed Parker's mother while still young teenagers and didn't stay in prison all that long. After serving her time, Hulme changed her name and became the famous writer Ann Perry. Each essay here is about five to ten pages long and is heavy in details of the case. Keller writes excellent first paragraphs and sucks you right in to the stories. Excellent.

Some typos
More typos than I've seen in one of Robert Keller's books before. Otherwise this is an excellent book as usual.
