Seventh Book of the True Crime Case Histories Series (2021)
If you’re familiar with the previous books in the True Crime Case Histories series, you already know that I start each book with a brief warning. Real true crime is not for everyone. The stories in this book represent humanity at its absolute worst. Pure evil. Television crime shows and news articles often skip the gruesome parts of true crime stories. The real details are just too grisly for the average viewer or reader.
In my books, however, I do my best to include the details, regardless of how unsettling they may be. Each story requires hours of research. I search through old newspaper articles, court documents, police reports, autopsy results, and first-hand descriptions. Some of the specifics can be disconcerting. I choose to include the details not to shock, but to give the reader a deeper view into the mind of the killer. Although it’s unlikely any of us will understand the motives of a diabolical monster, the level of depravity will keep you turning pages.
That being said, if you are overly squeamish about the details of true crime, this book may not be for you. If you’re okay with it… then let’s begin.
Volume 7 features: Longer stories, more photos, a bonus chapter, and an online appendix with additional photos, videos, and documents. Volume 7 of True Crime Case Histories features twelve new stories from the past fifty years.
A sampling of the stories include:
You’ll read about a law enforcement officer that took advantage of the trust associated with his uniform. His brutal reign of terror lasted eight years. It took the bravery of two young women that escaped his grasp to bring him down.
There’s the story of the recent law school graduate with a crush on his neighbor. Rather than asking her out on a date, he stalked and spied on his classmate, eventually taking her life. There’s also the heartbreaking story of a single mom, drowning in debt, that did the unthinkable for insurance money.
Seven of the stories in this book feature women killers, two of which took the time to meticulously dismember their victims—a task that can take great strength. Another woman manipulated her two teenage boys into killing for her. Yet another woman staged an elaborate hoax to get rid of her loving husband rather than go through the agony of a messy divorce.
You’ll also read of a sadistic group of up to twelve killers that took joy in abducting and torturing young men in Australia. Sadly, only one of the mysterious group has been brought to justice.
Plus many more disturbing stories.
The twelve stories in this volume are shocking and disturbing, but they’re true. These things really happen in the world. We may never understand why killers do what they do, but at least we can be better informed. You may have heard of a few of the stories in this volume, but there are several I’m almost certain you haven’t.
True Crime Case HistoriesVolume 7: 12 Disturbing True Crime Stories (True Crime Collection) Reviews
-
Pretty interesting collection of not really well known true crime cases!
-
Once again Jason Neal has gathered together twelve heinous crimes that make readers of true crime excited to see Neal's newest work on the New Released shelves again. But he adds a very strong warning in the beginning about the gruesome nature of the violence inflicted on these murder victims. Please heed his warning.
Instead of just saying someone was stabbed, that is not descriptive enough of the brutality of the murderer. By saying the victim was stabbed and slashed nearly 40 times to the point that they were no longer recognizable paints a truer picture of the murderous rage of the perpetrator. The author isn't doing it to gross you out.
Most of these cases I had not read before so it was another very informational book for a Criminal Justice graduate. -
Terrific TC anthology
This author covers a host of cases that are more obscure and deal with crimes in different countries and eras making for compelling reading. The color pictures are an added bonus. If you like Robert Keller or Les MacDonald you will probably love this series. Please write some new books! I'm hooked. -
Gruesome
Short factual information about some horrific murders. Interesting, but be warned, not for the faint hearted. 12 true crime stories. -
Yet another great book with cases I haven't come across before
-
Fair to middling
Not exactly rivetting, matter of fact stories of murders, not famous crimes . A quick read brought to fill in spare time. -
This is exactly what you would expect this book to be main ly us crimes but I enjoy this type of book so I a happy too read these.

True crime --- the rest of the story
When I read Jason Neal's true crime books, I know I'm getting the real story. I've been reading true crime since I was a child. My mother read magazines like True Detective and Real Detective and I read them, too.
The stories in this volume are interesting and informative. Some are heart-breaking as well. Take the mother (and I use the term loosely) who was willing to sacrifice her children for the insurance money. Whatever she had to do without, she made sure she paid those premiums!
It's always satisfying to hear the clang of the prison door as the murderers are locked away.
