don't know why I'm continuously surprised by the quality of the narratives of Keller's true crime vignettes in his Murder Most Vile series. This set includes family annihilators, couples who killed in very violent manners, a mad bomber, a couple of budding female serial killers, murder for profit, poisoners, and domestic homicides.
When I begin reading some stories they sound vaguely familiar but Keller with his infallible style he always adds something to the tale that I hadn't been aware of previously and the story takes on clarity. I often have "ah hah!" moments. I just finished Volume Six, luckily I have 26 more to read!
UPDATE: I actually have 27 more to read - Volume 34 was just released and I've already purchased it!

Fascinating
I've got to say that Robert Keller not only reports on well known crimes but also in some of the most bizarre cases I've never heard of. In this anthology, "The Man in the Attic" was the craziest. Thumbs up to this really talented author and the terrific editing and pics are something you don't get in other shoddy TC quick read anthologies. Also, he is prolific so once you discover him you have oodles of good books awaiting you. Thanks Mr. Keller!!!

Love
Love reading this series! Short but well written facts about these killers and what happened. I read at least one volume every 2 days!

Another great installation to the Murder Most Vile series, though there were precious novels in the series I enjoyed a lot more.

An excellent collection
I always enjoy reading these collections of true crime cases, and this volume has an interesting variety of murders. Some of them are quite old, such as the servant girls who killed their cruel mistress and her daughter.
I enjoyed revisiting The Man in the Attic from the 1920s as I had forgotten the details. That was an unusual case in which no one was punished.

Overall, not the most interesting of casefiles
This volume of the series is as well written as any of the other books, but the stories themselves were not as interesting overall, hence the three stars. There is one tale of a man executed by a group of vigilantes, only to find much later that the fellow was innocent of all charges ... except his being Jewish. The papers of the time had raged of the man's heredity. There are also tales of husbands, wives and children, all brought to an end by spouses, parents and even offspring. The most interesting of the cases is the last, The Man in the Attic. This essay relates the tale of a married woman's lover, who she hid in her attic to keep him available for her sexual appetite. This man, thirty years younger, stayed in the attic for some fifteen years while writing stories for the pulps of the thirties and forties to fill his time. As noted, these stories are well written with a certain breezy journalistic flavor and are very much like popcorn in that you consistently feel you can take in one more essay before setting the book aside for awhile.
