I really enjoyed this volume, it kept me hooked without missing information. I’ve always enjoyed true crime, so these short chapters were perfect for me. All chapters were between 5-20 minutes, so perfect if you don’t have a lot of time to delve into a fully story of true crime. I look forward to when we get the next volume, because I’m sure it will be just as gripping as this one.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Most stories are about 30 minutes in length which I liked. It’s a good mixture of stories that I knew and some I didn’t. I was irritated with the author/narrator. I can’t stress this enough when I say just because you wrote the book doesn’t mean you should narrate the book.

This book was well written and researched. I particularly thought she dealt with the subject with caring especially those of the victims.

Creepy

These were horrifying and saddening stories. People are horrible to each other. The criminals were, mostly, sentenced properly and justice was served

Good book. Interesting stories. I enjoy Ashley Hudson’s writing style

[Tanya · Rating 3 out of 5]

Most of these stories are between 10 to 20 minutes and contains enougyh information on each case to give the listener/reader enough knowledge of the crime and the perps.

As someone who listens to a lot of true crime podcasts, this was interesting as there were some new cases but the ones I knew about (Jodi Arias, Isreal Keyes) were very superficial and lacking in detail. If you are not a huge true crime buff, this would be a great place to start. If you are a true crime lover, you will find the lack of detail rather frustrating.

The narration was well done and easy to listen to on the whole.
