“True crime fans hungering for juicy tales of hot-blooded murder
will gobble up the offerings in this irresistibly page-turning
collection.”
—Harold Schechter, author of Hell’s Princess: The Mystery of Belle
Gunness, Butcher of Men
“A grand sweep through tales of an abused wife’s murderous revenge
in Victorian-era Canada; a 1980 Brink’s robbery in San Francisco by
an unfailingly polite, gay thief who adopts a new identity and
squanders his fortune in a sybaritic lifestyle in New York before
being arrested; a husband’s revenge murder of his adulterous wife
in sexually licentious postwar England, leading to an unusual
appeal to the House of Lords before he is hanged; the sensational
2012 ‘Facebook Murder’ in the Netherlands signaled by the online
post ‘A Girl Dies Today At 3 p.m.’; and the sordid tale of Evelyn
Nesbit, gorgeous salesgirl turned famed actress, and her role in a
love triangle with a prominent New York architect and the railroad
scion who murders him in a rage on the rooftop theater of Madison
Square Garden. Headlines in the sensationalist New York newspapers
scream of the ‘Trial of the Century’—but of course it’s only 1906,
and the century is still quite young.”
—Joe Sharkey, author of Above Suspicion
“Szereto and her contributors’ dark stories and clean writing
styles combine for a gripping read. Wonderful!”
—Liza Rodman, author of The Babysitter: My Summers with a Serial
Killer
“What motivates people to kill and commit heinous crimes? Is it a
snap decision or calculated, plotted, and sinister? There’s a whole
lot of reasons, hence our endless intrigue about what goes on in
the minds of criminals. This volume of crime cases edited by true
crime queen Mitzi Szereto is a fascinating look at crimes where
perpetrators let their rage and bad judgment take over. With
historical crimes and more contemporary ones featured, it’s also
interesting to see how our understanding of violence has evolved
over the years.”
—Emily Webb, co-host of Australian True Crime podcast and author of
Angels of Death: Doctors and Nurses Who Kill
“The true heart of darkness is in true crime. Crime fiction authors
are an inventive bunch, but rarely have they created stories of
passion, obsession, and revenge as compelling as these true
accounts of what the passionate human heart and obsessive mind can
make a person do. You may pity some of the killers in this
collection; you may loathe others. But I guarantee you won’t forget
them.”
—Peter Guttridge, critic and crime fiction author
“The Best New True Crime Stories: Crimes of Passion, Obsession &
Revenge is Mitzi Szereto's most thoughtfully constructed and fully
stacked collection I've yet to read. There's no filler. Everyone
writes something deeper and also scratches that true crime itch
that you came for. Even if you didn't know it needed scratching
until now.”
—Get On My Damn Level
“For those who want a little variety with their true
crime, The Best New True Crime Stories: Crimes Of Passion,
Obsession & Revenge is a solid choice.... For a true
crime book with a difference, this one will have you reading long
into the night.”
—Serial Killers Shop
