...The sixth in the long running series presented by master editor Mitzi Szereto.... The Best New True Crime Stories Unsolved Crimes & Mysteries is for those of us who love this genre. -Midwest Book Review Great book, highly recommended for all fans of crime stories, true or otherwise. -Readers' Favorite Haunting and heartbreaking, The Best New True Crime Stories: Unsolved Crimes & Mysteries lives up to its title, and is a must-read for true crime aficionados. It's an ambitious collection of unsolved mysteries, spanning the globe and time-from France in the Roaring Twenties to Los Angeles in the 1960s to the Appalachian Trail in the 1990s, and beyond. The authors skillfully shed new light on long-forgotten murders, chronical a baffling and brazen art heist, and lay bare the systemic and societal failures in each case. But most of all, the authors honor the victims. Because maybe, just maybe, these renewed accounts will spawn new clues that will provide answers to grieving families, and perhaps even justice. I can't stop thinking about these stories, and I highly recommend. -Alex Finlay, author of Every Last Fear and The Night Shift Ever since reading Megan Abbott's The Song Is You, I can't get enough of Jean Spangler, so I was thrilled to see the bizarre 1949 disappearance of the Hollywood bit actress turn up in Mitzi Szereto's latest collection of unsolved true crimes. If you love history and mystery, you'll love this book. -David Bushman, author of Murder at Teal's Pond: Hazel Drew and the Mystery That Inspired Twin Peaks An unusually moving read. I was struck by the compassion and sensitivity with which the murders were described, as each of the authors felt a personal sympathy with and even a connection to the case. -Linda Stratmann, author of thirty true crime and crime fiction books, including her new series featuring a young Sherlock Holmes Quality literature always leaps from the pages when professional true crime writers dip quills into ink. This book is no exception. A great compilation of gut-wrenching cases giving 'reader involvement and participation:' the authors 'talk to the reader' not 'at the reader,' which is a style I encourage and thoroughly endorse. Well laid out. Dedicated research. This is a must-read book for all those interested in true crime. -Christopher Berry-Dee, criminologist; christopherberrydee.com Author and editor extraordinaire Mitzi Szereto has assembled an outstanding group of leading authors from throughout the world for this incredible collection-The Best New True Crime Stories: Unsolved Crimes & Mysteries.
