Jason Neal is a Best-Selling American True Crime Author living in Hawaii with his wife, who is also an author writing Women's Fiction as G.T. London. Jason started his writing career in 1989 as a music industry publisher and wrote his first true crime collection in 2019.
As a boy growing up in the 80s just south of Seattle, Jason became fascinated with true crime stories after hearing the news of the Green River Killer so close to his home. Over the coming years, he would read everything he could get his hands on about true crime and serial killers.
As he approached 50, Jason began to assemble stories of the crimes that have fascinated him most throughout his life. He’s especially fascinated by cases solved by sheer luck, amazing police work, and groundbreaking technology like early DNA cases and, more recently, reverse genealogy.

12 More Disturbing Cases
Jason Neal’s True Crime Case Histories remains at the top of my list for the genre. I devour each volume within days of it hitting my kindle library.
I was only familiar with one case in this volume, the Michigan serial rapist and murderer in the last case in the book. It is disturbing to think there are so many murders to cover that warrants a steady stream of books in the genre with little overlap in cases. I’ve read multiple authors in the true crime genre and Jason Neal stays atop my list of favorites. I enjoy the balance between respect for families involved on both sides while still managing to not sugarcoat the gruesome details. You won’t find gore for the sake of shock value in this series, but neither will you find softened brutality.
The case that stood out most for me in this volume was the Utah case where the pregnant woman was killed by her husband after she discovered his web of lies regarding his entire life. It was all so unnecessary. She would have loved him regardless of his profession or education. Yet, he built such an elaborate lie that fooled everyone around him, until one innocent phone call to UNC unraveled everything. Still, she wanted to make it work, but he couldn’t see a way out of the web of deception he’d spun for so long.
The next was the little girl who just wanted you to go play with the friendly neighbor’s dog. Little did anyone know, that neighbor was an un rehabilitated sex offender. The crimes against children tend to stick with me for a good while after I finish these books.
5 stars. If you haven’t read any of Jason Neal’s books and are a fan of True Crime, start anywhere in this series. I doubt you’ll be disappointed.

Well written and thoughtful. I appreciate seeing photos of the perpetrators but I’d also like to see photos of the deceased prior to their murders. Hence four stars instead of five.
