True Crime Stories: 3 True Crime Books Collection
It is no secret that true crime murder stories are not for the faint of heart. They can lead you to double-check your windows and doors at night, and question everything you thought or believed about human nature. Yet they are intriguing and fascinating at the same time. What is it that makes us different from those who take the lives of others? That is a question that many ask themselves, and these true crime stories help to identify the method and psychology behind some of the most terrifying killers in modern history. This set includes three true crime books, volumes 1-3, and each is filled with a variety of true crime murder cases, including spree killers and massacres, some of which are yet to be solved. You are taken through the background of the story, the murders, and the criminal investigations that took place. Some pages will be difficult to read, due to the emotion behind them. Yet you will be unable to stop reading, turning page after page. Each true crime anthology in this collection will leave you to ponder whether the perpetrators of these crimes were really monsters. When you learn of the background of these killers, the age-old question of whether a serial killer is born to kill will be at the forefront of your mind. Explore the stories behind the murders in these True Crime volumes, the anger, the horror, and the sadism, inflicted by each killer. Feel for the victims, their families, and the investigators who had to deal with each case. And don’t be surprised if you have to sleep with the light on.

About the author
Jack Rosewood
91 books146 followersI live in one of the most beautiful places in Florida, Jupiter, with my wife, two kids and our golden retriever, Vincent. I've been a full time author for the last 15 years and I wouldn't trade it against anything in the world!
My father was a journalist and wrote about some of the worst crimes you could ever imagine, and that's where my big interest from serial killers and other horrible crimes comes from. Just to hear my father talk about the evil acts of Ted Bundy as we were out fishing as a kid are some of my best memories.

‘Keep your head up and your eyes and ears open at all times!’
Florida author Jack Rosewood inherited his fascination for heinous crimes from his father, a journalist covering major grim crimes such as Ted Bundy. He is fascinated with serial killers and crimes of all manner – solved and unsolved – their development psychologically, their preparation for their life of crime, and the details of how they made their bloody black marks on the world. The model/movie star handsome Rosewood lives in Jupiter, Florida with his wife and two children.
Jack moves away from his intensive studies of serial killers to explore strange crimes most of which are discoveries for the reader – even the Jack Rosewood reader! He calls this collection TRUE CRIME STORIES: TRUE CRIME ANTHOLOGY – this collection being the first three books of his collection. In each volume he shares twelve very shocking and strange crimes that have eluded the widespread press. His Introduction to this new avenue deserves quoting: ‘In the annals of criminal history, most cases are open and shut. A crime takes place, the police investigate, an arrest is made, and the accused is either acquitted or convicted of said crime. Some criminal cases make for interesting prime time specials or cable network documentaries, but few invoke mysteries that persist for any length of time. But some crimes are so puzzling and perplexing that the mystery surrounding them takes on a life of its own. It is these mysterious crimes that often have the greatest impact on all involved. Crime in general has profound effects on the victims specifically and the greater society in general. Murders, in particular, leave behind gaping psychological wounds that often only begin to heal when the perpetrator is caught and convicted for his/ her crimes. But what happens when the murderer is never identified? Or worse yet, what happens when the victim is never found, as if the person vanished into thin air? These are the type of crimes that tear at the social fabric of a community more than any other – crimes where a suspect is never identified, a body is never found, or a reason for the crime is never determined. The world is full of many mysteries and within the pages of this book you will be introduced to twelve of the most intriguing and amazing mysteries in modern criminal history. Some of the cases here involve multiple crimes where coincidences seem to link what are otherwise unrelated cases. Investigation of these cases reveals that sometimes although events may be creepy, they are in fact coincidences; while in other cases the jury is still out. A number of high-profile disappearances are also given consideration in the following pages. While a mysterious fog of uncertainty still hangs over one of these cases, excellent police work and modern science helped locate other missing individuals. Finally, this e-book considers a number of unsolved murder cases that were all but forgotten about and went “cold,” only to heat up and get resolved years, even decades, later through advances in science and new eyewitness testimony.’
Each volume shares twelve stories – each growing more macabre than the preceding one. After delving into these fascinating cases with inordinate dexterity of thought and writing Jack closes by saying, ‘the world is an amazing and mysterious place and as this book proves, sometimes crime plays a role in the mysteries of the world.’ Another highly recommended collection by the master crime journalist/investigator/historian – Jack Rosewood.

Kindle Unlimited but got it on a freebie day, don't normally do true crime or horror books, but have went through a good deal of his, the king of ick-gross as I think of his books. Not for the faint of heart nor the weak of stomach

Great set of quick reads with some really interesting and unusual cases.
I've read all three of these True Crime compilations by Jack Rosewood when they were first published individually. Now they are available as a bumper set of three books and I managed to pick them up when they were on free promo.
I read the book 2 of this series first for some reason and then book 1 next-it doesn't matter which way you read them anyway. They are all quick reads with some really interesting and unusual cases. Intriguing, and a nice simple style, not too long winded, straight to the point. I'm now hooked on this series! I just want to keep on reading them! There's some surprising material, a great variety of cases and circumstances. I've read a few true crime books before but these were all fresh ones for me, not all ones I'd heard about before (although I do like reading more detail about true crime cases I've heard of from years ago and in the news too).
These are all medium length compilation books, each containing 12 true crime stories. Even though I've read quite a few of this author's books now, there's always something else you've not heard of before. Just when you think you heard of the most terrible of circumstances, there’s another case which is the worst you’ve ever heard of. They're very quick, easy reading (despite the tragic cases described). Not too much detail-you can cover a whole case in one shortish reading session, meaning you don't have to try to remember clues and threads from anything before-you just start a new chapter next time and a new case. Having said that, there are still plenty of details and twists to keep you occupied with your reading. Unbelievable the vile depths some 'humans' will go to. Such extreme and varied cases.

Another great read from Jack Rosewood...
This is yet another great read that’s really hard to put down. It's an insightful and graphically detailed account of some of the most horrific serial killers. In fact, while reading yet another of Jack Rosewoods books I just had to keep turning the pages yet again. Not necessarily because it's all that enjoyable in any way, shape or form, to delve a little too deeply into the malefic minds of such murderous people, but because I sincerely believe that most people are fascinated in one way or another by serial killers. Perhaps it’s the human morbid fascination with death. I’m not exactly sure. However, maybe it just astounds the average person as to how depraved other individuals can be.
Even if you are a seasoned campaigner of true crime, True Crime Stories: 3 True Crime Books Collection will surely raise more than a few hairs on the back of your neck. It was a first-class read and the author gave a perspective to these horrific crimes that was both fascinating and intriguing. This was one of the better true crime books that I have read recently.
I would highly recommend this read to all fans of the true-crime genre. I’m also a big fan of Jack Rosewood so it’s another 5 Stars from me. Well done again!

Love this collection.
If you’re looking to learn more about mysterious cases this is the true crime listen for you. The cases inside were mostly ones that I've never heard of before, but ones that I am looking forward to doing more research on. This book gives the basics of what happened in each case, who the suspect is, and other important information, but it doesn’t really go in depth. I would recommend this piece for someone who is just getting into true crime. Honestly, I had hoped there would be a bit more information for each. Still a great collection though.
Narration was steady and the cadence worked well with the author’s writing style.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Terrifying, but Interesting
36 true crimes that range from recent times to 100 plus years ago. Including solved and unsolved cases, each are disturbing in their own way. The case of the 12 yr old girl who murdered her family made me wary of my 11 yr old daughter! These cases show that even in places you think are safe you never know what is going through a persons mind. Some stories are truly stomach churning.
A few minor grammatical errors, but this is a fascinating anthology.

Three books in one
Here are 36 true crime cases for your late evening reading enjoyment. Perhaps you've heard of some of these cases. Still, you'll find enough fresh material here to satisfy your appetite.
It is astonishing what humans are willing to do to other humans. It's apparent that these killers have no conscience or moral compass for they will continue to wreak havoc for as long as they are permitted to do so.

Really creepy but a interesting read
Three complete books with links to purchase more of the same.
Some of these killers and their victims happened within the past 30 years in the state I have lived all my life but didn't really know about because 30 years ago the media wasn't as intrusive and exploItive as it is today.

A good read!
Nicely condensed stories with page turning interest. A must have book for those true crime lovers out there like me who enjoy a short tale to squeeze into their free time.

Surprising! I was enthralled with these stories. Some I have heard but most I have not. They were well written. To those True Crime folks, this is the one.

Readable, but clunky
Parts of this book read as though American English is not the author's native language. Other parts are needlessly clunky! Terms such as she/he and them/those type nouns are not even required. The other problem is the liberal use of !!!. The books are well researched and include a variety of cases from other centuries and locals! Some of the cases read like a summary of other books. Some of them seem to present opinions as facts.
