‘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.

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!

but have went through a good deal of his
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 stomachIt 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.True Crime Stories: 3 True Crime Books Collection (True Crime Novels Anthology)True Crime Stories Volume 3: 12 Shocking True Crime Murder Cases (True Crime Anthology)True Crime Stories Volume 2: 12 Shocking True Crime Murder Cases (True Crime Anthology)True Crime Stories: 12 Shocking True Crime Murder Cases (True Crime Anthology)The Big Book of Serial Killers: 150 Serial Killer Files of the World's Worst Murderers (An Encyclopedia of Serial Killers)The Serial Killer Books: 15 Famous Serial Killers True Crime Stories That Shocked The World (The Serial Killer Files)and many many others, check amazon writer's page

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.

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.

Boring and detailess!
Not my favourite book. I'm part way through but that bored I thought to stop & write this review. The story's (so far) are short & detailess. I like to know what happened, how they found out and the outcome but the details of these short stories are very vague. There are also errors, spelling mistakes and missing words which I find annoying. I wouldnt recommend this book at all. I might not even bother finishing it.

True Crime at its best, a great read.
Really enjoyed the mixture of known and lesser known crimes. Liked how you included crimes from various countries. These books are full of detailed information and not sensationalized and the victims stories are there aswell.
