- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2022Good little book, quick read, time line is well.thought of, Malton does good research and doesn't pepper these sad disturbing stories with flowers and rainbows.. This is really informative and God be with the victims and family. Martin too.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2023These are short stories. The sentences are noun verb. The editing can't be explained by auto correct. The pictures are in color but if they were any fuzzier, they might qualify as pets. Nice to read cover to cover if you have 20 minutes or so as you do your laundry.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2024A quick look at unknown cases, bit short on depth and detail on some. Well worth reading.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2023Killer Case Files Vol. 4 is the first book I've read in this series, but it won't be the last. As someone who was obsessed (probably a bit too much) with true crime as a teenager, and still finds it morbidly fascinating to this day, I was both excited and apprehensive about reading this.
I should note that recently, my husband has been watching a couple different YouTubers who do conspiracy theory podcasts and true crime podcasts, and we discuss the latter on occasion. And a few days before I started reading this, there was a case mentioned in the one podcast about a trucker who outfitted his trailer as a torture chamber. Lo and behold, there was a case within the pages of this book about a trucker who used his trailer to do verry bad things to young women. And the crazy thing is, they were two separate cases. My husband and I spent a lot of time comparing the two. There really are some sick people in the world.
Anyway... back to my review...
I found this collection of true crime stories to be both fascinating and disturbing. There was a story about Amityville that focused on the original family who lived there, which I thought was cool, considering most people only know about what happened with the Lutz family after they bought the house. The other nineteen cases mentioned in the book were all new to me, and I found a couple of them to be a bit sad (like the teenager who was murdered by her two friends), but most of them were kind of shocking. It makes you wonder about people and why they feel the need to kill others. As a teenager, I wanted to study them and learn more about why people killed, but I ultimately decided against that career path. Now, I just prefer to read the occasional true crime story and discuss it with my husband instead.
If you're a morbid weirdo like me who enjoys reading about true crime, check out Killer Case Files Vol. 4 (and the other volumes too). You won't be disappointed.
4.5 stars!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2023I, like many people, love true crime. These 20 true crime tales from volume four run the gamut of young and old, notorious to obscure, motivated to senseless. The victims were of all backgrounds, and so were the perpetrators. I was pleased to see some famous historical serial killers such as Madame LaLaurie mixed in. The life of such a depraved and twisted woman is fascinating to me, even though she was unquestionably grotesque and abhorrent. Some of the cases are more satisfying than others and I felt like maybe they were poor candidates for print because they leave out things like motive or context. Many of the stories are lacking explanations of the investigations or forensics involved in solving the murders, and I’ve always liked having the science of case-solving be part of the story. All in all, though, it was an interesting late-night read. The stories were quick, so I flew through this volume. I definitely recommend for true crime lovers.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2023Just like the title says, these are killer case files. And they read like case files, too. I actually thought that they would read more like stories with suspense and excitement. No, it wasn’t quite like that. These read more like police reports. Very tame and formal.
These were interesting cases, sure, but I wanted more story.
