Unsolved True Crime: 10 Frightening Cases of Mystery, Murder and Mayhem (The Ones You've Never Heard of) Volume 1
The Black Dahlia, Dian Fossey, JonBenét Ramsey—many people know the names of these victims and can probably remember with impressive detail the circumstances of their unsolved crimes. But be honest, have you ever heard of Molly Bish, Ebby Steppach, or Charlene Downes? The author of the bone-chilling Unsolved Serial Killers series, D.R. Werner, is back with yet another fantastic book filled with ten horrific and unsolved true crimes that were either forgotten over time or never heard of to begin with. The victims of these tragedies have not received the recognition they deserve and the offenders were never found and therefore never held accountable. By focusing on investigative reports and psychological profiles of the killers and criminals who set out to claim helpless victims, these cases will keep you turning the pages as each story leaves you hungry for justice. In Unsolved True Crime , you will be introduced to these and many more nightmare-inducing These innocent people never expected to come face to face with such evil. Survivors were left horrified and without answers and the ongoing investigations are keeping the victims’ families and friends up at night to this day. With many of the following cases being decades old it leaves one to question whether justice will ever be served. The purpose of the following is to provide the coverage these cases so rightly deserve…but be warned…

Though the writing was, at times, somewhat unartful, and I caught at least one punctuation error, and taking this as what it was, one of those short little pulpy crime books that you read on KU because they're short and free with your subscription, I enjoyed it immensely. And the subtitle 'The ones you've never heard of' proved accurate, which I appreciate. I tend to hear/read about the same ones over and over, and that gets boring. I'd honestly give it a 3.5, which is why I yet again state my standing complaint of Goodreads either needs to give us half stars or a one to ten scale.

The information gathered and the stories were great, 5/5.
The grammar and sentence structure, however, had moments of blaring issue. Some paragraphs needed reread several times, 3/5.
There was a lot of personal voice and opinion from the author, who seemed to use this as a platform to jockey for the victims' rights. While admirable and definitely something worth talking about, it was not well balanced with the source material. It stuck out, and was not smoothly integrated with the cold case narratives at all. 3/5.

Very interesting, and disturbing
A look into violent, unsolved cases that is disturbing and unsettling. My only complaint is in some area, the author's writing became a bit confusing, causing me to have to reread a few paragraphs. Also, the book would have been better to include fewer cases, with more detail.

I guess it is to be expected by the very nature of the book but, stories of unsolved crimes seem to vary wildly in the amount of detail available and in them having no sense of closure. The cases in the book seem well researched but occasionally the author spends too much time editorializing about the police, the criminal, or the family.

Interesting book!
While this book gives accounts of fascinating crimes, it is sad that these crimes are still unsolved. I was familiar with a few of the cases, but most of them I didn't know about. I highly recommend this book to other true crime readers.

Good read!!
This is a good book. Unsettling that there are so many cold cases out there to never be solved. Sad.

I had heard of several of the cases, others I have not. It does go into more details than I heard before.

Narrative is good. No fluff language is clear and crisp. It is a gripping reality of many lives that have mattered!

Think the 1980's version of "Unsolved Mysteries", but in book form. Digestible, easy read. Already have the other books in this series in my queue!
