True Crime: Chilling Investigations Of Some Of Our Histories Most Unfamiliar True Crime Stories
Chilling Investigations Of Some Our Histories Most Unfamiliar True Crime Stories
Conviction is a very important part of providing justice. When a crime has been committed, it is essential for the perpetrator to be punished. In that way, although the family of the victims won’t always be able to make sense of what happened, they will still understand that nobody is above the law.
Publicizing the criminal’s modus operandi is sometimes good - the citizens will be well aware of their tactics and they can take better care of themselves. On the other hand, it can also be bad, because “would be” criminals and serial killers are also watching and they might like the idea. Such was the case of Eddie Seda.
Other than him, 4 others wreaked havoc in different places, at various times: There was the man who killed prostitutes in his own home (with his family in it), a man who claimed to have killed 600 hundred women when only 3 victims were verified, a father who brought his son to “hunt” some humans, and a husband who killed his wife when she learned of his lies.
How did they do it? And how did the law authorities catch them?
Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn...
True Crime – What Drives a Killer to the Edge? True Crime – A Day of Hunting in Leonia True Crime – Kendall and His House of Horrors True Crime – Try Harder: 2nd Zodiac True Crime – The Prankster Killer True Crime – Lori's Husband Much, much more!

I've started reading true crime stories this year, since my daughter has become addicted to reruns of "Forensic Files" on television. This particular book, however, which features five killers in fifty pages, read more like a summary version rather than a "chilling investigation." Ultimately, it was a decent read for a lunch break, but nothing particularly thrilling.

Not bad, extremely short
This very quick read true crime anthology contained two very well known cases, that of Henry Lee Lucas, and the poor man's Scott Petersen, Dave Hacking. Credit is due though for the story about the cuddling murderous father and son. What a bizarre story!

Good read
Various stories here, of serial killers, hauntings and others. Worth the read, some were familiar to me, others were not.

Straight forward
The different crimes are explained in a very straight forward way, which I liked. The author simply stated the facts and the consequences of each crime.

Quick and interesting. Fairly well written, some typos noted but otherwise I enjoyed it. Pictures of crime scenes would have added to the interest.

Quick and enjoyable read.
Some of these stories I was familiar with. But it it was interesting to read about the details. Really enjoyed the stories as I’m a true crime nerd.

I enjoyed the fast paced read. Well written and factual. It was nice to read about people who aren't well know, too.

Five interesting crime investigations
The five cases presented in this book are interesting and informative. While there are quite a few errors, the stories are otherwise well-written and well-organized. The author delivers as promised.
Although the title suggests that the cases are unfamiliar, most true crime readers are familiar with Henry Lee Lucas's story, which is included.

Good short detailing several lesser known serial killers. Henry Lee Lucas was probably the most known of those profiled. Worth checking out.

Great read!
These little stories were smoothly written and provide a peek into the minds of some of the country's most twisted minds.

True Chilling Criminal Tales
This short book contained some interesting crime stories, replete with some great research. These stories are chilling in the sense that these horrific crimes were committed by "people." If you enjoy crime stories, you will enjoy this book. Some of the cases are known, others less so. It is indeed a chilling book.
