“Informative, educational, and viciously entertaining, The Best New
True Crime Stories: Partners in Crime is another homerun for
Szereto and crew. It’s the liveliest bunch of stories to date in
the series, and one gets the impression that a second volume in the
same theme wouldn’t be hard to pull off. True crime junkies should
be eating this one up, too.” —Get on My Damn Level
“The Best New True Crime Stories: Partners in Crime, edited by
Mitzi Szereto, is a terrific anthology volume of love stories gone
very, very bad. That is to say, the amorous partners in these true
accounts become criminals with sinister and deadly results. Written
by award-winning and critically acclaimed authors from around the
globe, the stories are fast paced and exciting. It is full of
thrills and chills for everyone. This volume is a wonderful
addition to the true crime genre and I highly recommend it.” —Scott
Bonn, PhD Criminologist, author, and producer “Readers can’t get
enough true crime and here comes another winner in Mitzi Szereto’s
The Best New True Crime Stories: Partners in Crime. Gathering
stories from some of the world’s best writers, Szereto puts
together another page-turning collection, telling true crime tales
of the wicked, wild, and wonderful. You’ll love this book and the
stories of devious partnerships that ended in mayhem and murder!”
—Bob Batchelor, cultural historian and author of The Bourbon King:
The Life and Crimes of George Remus, Prohibition’s Evil Genius “If
you like true crime with something extra, The Best New True Crime
Stories: Partners in Crime delivers. The crimes and criminals are
compelling enough, but what sets these tales apart is the attention
to setting and social milieu. Each crime is a product of its time
and place, and context is enriched by digressions into the
deprivations of wartime London, the pros and cons of using
strychnine vs. arsenic on sheep farms in New Zealand, and a British
version of The Americans featuring an antiquarian bookseller and
his amateur photographer wife. An altogether enjoyable and
instructive romp.” —Stephanie Kane, crime writer “When a human
being decides to commit murder, that portion of society within
their reach has a major problem. But when two killers are drawn
together and decide to commit the unthinkable, cities, towns, and
rural settings will soon find themselves in a living nightmare. And
such is the case with The Best New True Crime Stories: Partners in
Crime! Within these pages you’ll read about true-life murderers, as
well as those who only haunt the chilling works of fiction, written
by authors who understand well the mindset of the murderer. Read
this book!” —Kevin M. Sullivan, author of The Bundy Murders: A
Comprehensive History “From Bittaker and Norris to Fred and
Rosemary West, we are all too familiar with the deadly effects of
partnerships in crime. The true crime stories in this collection
range from wartime London to late twentieth century Australia, from
noir narrative to a disquisition on the use of strychnine as a
poison, but all of them focus on the evil that can arise when
potential killers meet. Fascinating, shocking—and highly
recommended.” —Danuta Kot, author of the East Riding series“The
latest in the excellent The Best New True Crime
Stories series of anthologies focuses on criminal couples, and
range from Paul Willett’s evocative wartime-set tale, the
inspiration for Chicago Joe and the Showgirl, grisly goths and
a match ‘made in hell,’ spies in suburbia and sleazy goings-on in a
Chelsea apartment complex.” —Choice magazine (UK)
“Mitzi Szereto has done it again in The Best New True Crime
Stories: Partners in Crime, the fifth anthology of true crime
stories focusing on partners doing the deeds.... The variety
of crimes from all over the world and from different epochs as not
just ‘whodunnits?’ but ‘whydunnits?’ added another layer of
interest, showing, more often than not, how criminals can come from
anywhere anytime.” —Readers' Favorite
“ ‘What makes two individuals in a relationship together suddenly
decide to victimize others, even to the point of murder?’ That’s
the question author and editor Mitzi Szereto asks at the outset
of The Best New True Crime Stories: Partners in Crime, her
fifth anthology of engaging tales of bad people doing bad things.…
This time the theme is relationships turned wicked, and fourteen
contributors introduce killer couples, husband-and-wife pimps,
serial arsonists, and married spies in tales that hopscotch across
the globe, from North America to Europe and as far afield as
Australia, New Zealand, and Trinidad and Tobago.” —Dean
Jobb, Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine
“If you are a true crime person, I’m telling you right now—this
book is for you (the whole series, actually!)…. It’s interesting,
it’s well-researched, and it contains some new stories you won’t
have heard of.” — Reading For Sanity Book Reviews
