This book highlights many of the high profile crimes that occurred both in the US and internationally in 2016. It gives a detailed description of what happened and each victim in the case. It covers many cases, including the Gregory Green family murders, The Pulse nightclub massacre, the Cascade Mall murders, the Victoria Martens horrific abuse/murder and so many others. I had forgotten how many horrible acts of murder happened last year. OK, all acts of murder are horrible, but these are ones that mostly had more than one victim (several mass murders), horrific mind-numbing crimes that make you hate humans. This book is a good summary of these crimes, that most people know about even if they are not into true crime. The book is well written and well researched. I do recommend it. I loved it. ( ) Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.This book is a decent mix of multiple cases from 2016, but the entire book feels rushed. Some cases got a lot of attention and others got little (many due to the fact that investigations are still going on) and overall the read was average. This book will be considered heavily outdated by the end of 2017 (with several cases already being) and I urge the author to rethink his annual anthology series. Jack Rosewood's latest offering, "True Crime: Homicide and True Crime Stories of 2016", is sure to be a massive hit with every fan of true crime stories. Making it significantly unusual, this over 8 hour blockbuster separates these 2016 crime stories by month thus making it easier for the reader to recall the news stories from 2016. The recency of crimes makes each story more unsettling and brings the atrocities closer to home. This book has it all; violent crimes of passion, murderous hatred, sadistic serial killers, vicious maniacs, and more. Each and every goosebump-raising story is a graphic reminder of the considerably brutal world we live in. Fascinating details and compelling stories of seemingly everyday people make this book a captivating and thought-provoking record of 2016's most violent and disturbing crimes and the people caught up in them, either as victims or villains. Hardened true crime readers or those new to the genre are sure to find this unsettling collection of macabre stories amongst the best available. Lock your doors and sleep with the lights on people, Jack Rosewood has done it again! Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. This is another great True Crime book by Jack Rosewood. This time he provides a gripping detailed look at some of the most infamous heinous crimes of 2016, such as the Kalamazoo Uber driver, UCLA shooting and Orlando nightclub shooting to name a few. I just could not put the book down. I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. Jack Rosewood's Homicide & True Crime Stories of 2016 is a good way to catch up on the violent crimes that occurred in the U.S and abroad for almost the entire year. 2016 was a pretty violent year, and it isn't even over yet! Broken down by months, the cases are described, but with limited information, and then current statuses are given if possible. Since most of the cases are still awaiting trial, there isn't the in-depth research, analysis, explanation and interviews that are seen in Rosewood's other works. The book does its job as a summary of the year in violent crime, but including December would make it more complete, a true year in review.I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Annual True Crime Anthology (book 1)
Almost every year, we believe that nothing can top the abject horror of the last 12 months when it comes to true crime stories, homicides, execution-style murders or serial killers that are still on the prowl, leaving behind a trail of blood, tears and sorrow. Then, of course, the New Year begins. And so, too, begin the murders, bodies dumping beneath the snow, behind dumpsters in the worst parts of town, or left just where they fell, killed by a madman with a gun. Unfortunately, terrible, barbaric things have happened since the beginning of time, when Medieval torture devices included the Iron Chair (a victim was forced to sit in a chair made of iron spikes, while restraints were tightened so the spikes would slowly, painfully penetrate the body) and the Pear of Anguish (device with four sections that stretched outward after the instrument was inserted into any orifice of a victim's body - vagina, anus or mouth - and stretch, causing permanent damage, while the Catholic Inquisition gave us the rack, which essentially tore its victims limb from limb to elicit a confession. When one inevitably came, the broken confessor was set on fire for his or her crime. So why should we be surprised to learn a serial killer is stalking Alaska, shooting people in the dark at the city's peaceful parks, while another makes his home in Phoenix, randomly shooting his victims, leaving residents looking over their shoulders with nervous anxiety wherever they might go. People have been capable of terrible things since the beginning of time, and they seem in no hurry to put an end to their sadistic actions. In more cases than we'd probably like to believe, our neighbors may not be who they seem, and you might look at them with a little more wariness after reading this true crime anthology, which delves deeply into some of the worst homicides, mass killings, hate crimes, spree killings and serial killings or serial killer captures across the nation in 2016. These true murder stories will leave you feeling chilled to the bone, causing you to lock your doors at night against a potential intruder who may be at your door because he randomly saw your porch light, or because of a grudge that's potentially gone one for years. If you're looking for a true murder book that gives you an intimate, in-depth look at some of the most gruesome, shocking and unreal true crime stories of 2016, this true crime anthology has got you covered. You'll be riveted by the tales of true murder, but they're the sort to cause nightmares. You might not want to read it in the dark. The shadows could be hiding secrets.
