As a boy growing up in the 80s just south of Seattle, Jason became fascinated with true crime stories after hearing the news of the Green River Killer so close to his home. Over the coming years, he would read everything he could get his hands on about true crime and serial killers.

This is a box set of 3 books containing 36 true crime stories.
As with the two Box Set of True crimes (1-3; 4-6; 7-19), the book is easy to read. Most if not all included a very brief intro, the crime or the series of unfortunate events that lead to the crime, the backstory of the individual who did the crime and the closure which includes after trail.
There are some editing concerns. Additionally, the narrative format is misleading at times. Have notice more true crime cliches included. They may have been in the previous book collection; however, there are quite noticeable here.
The noted crimes are unique and not well known.
A great series to start for someone who is interested in this genre. Read it - and look for more books, podcasts or vids regarding the crimes noted in these books. That is what I have done - and have found more detail and description in those vids, podcasts and other books.
Words can't explain how I feel. It's all so sad that people lose their lives. What I don't understand is why the killers don't come clean about what they did. You're gonna get caught anyway so just come clean.
