“...The sixth in the long running series presented by master editor
Mitzi Szereto.... The Best New True Crime Stories Unsolved
Crimes & Mysteries is for those of us who love this
genre.”—Midwest Book Review"Great book, highly recommended for all
fans of crime stories, true or otherwise." —Readers'
Favorite“Haunting and heartbreaking, The Best New True Crime
Stories: Unsolved Crimes & Mysteries lives up to its title, and is
a must-read for true crime aficionados. It’s an ambitious
collection of unsolved mysteries, spanning the globe and time—from
France in the Roaring Twenties to Los Angeles in the 1960s to the
Appalachian Trail in the 1990s, and beyond. The authors skillfully
shed new light on long-forgotten murders, chronical a baffling and
brazen art heist, and lay bare the systemic and societal failures
in each case. But most of all, the authors honor the victims.
Because maybe, just maybe, these renewed accounts will spawn new
clues that will provide answers to grieving families, and perhaps
even justice. I can’t stop thinking about these stories, and I
highly recommend.”
—Alex Finlay, author of Every Last Fear and The Night Shift “Ever
since reading Megan Abbott’s The Song Is You, I can’t get enough of
Jean Spangler, so I was thrilled to see the bizarre 1949
disappearance of the Hollywood bit actress turn up in Mitzi
Szereto’s latest collection of unsolved true crimes. If you love
history and mystery, you’ll love this book.”
—David Bushman, author of Murder at Teal’s Pond: Hazel Drew and the
Mystery That Inspired Twin Peaks “An unusually moving read. I was
struck by the compassion and sensitivity with which the murders
were described, as each of the authors felt a personal sympathy
with and even a connection to the case.”
—Linda Stratmann, author of thirty true crime and crime fiction
books, including her new series featuring a young Sherlock Holmes
“Quality literature always leaps from the pages when professional
true crime writers dip quills into ink. This book is no exception.
A great compilation of gut-wrenching cases giving ‘reader
involvement and participation:’ the authors ‘talk to the reader’
not ‘at the reader,’ which is a style I encourage and thoroughly
endorse. Well laid out. Dedicated research. This is a must-read
book for all those interested in true crime.”
—Christopher Berry-Dee, criminologist; christopherberrydee.com
“Author and editor extraordinaire Mitzi Szereto has assembled an
outstanding group of leading authors from throughout the world for
this incredible collection—The Best New True Crime Stories:
Unsolved Crimes & Mysteries. A truly fantastic anthology!”
—Dan Zupansky, author and host of True Murder“People can’t seem to
get enough of true crime stories these days, and I’m one of
them. The Best New True Crime Stories: Unsolved Crimes &
Mysteries, the sixth installment of Mitzi Szereto’s franchise,
features award-winning writers Dean Jobb, Joan Renner, Cathy
Pickens, Lindsey Danis, Janel Comeau, Anya Wassenberg, David
Breakspear, Mitzi Szereto, and many others; the book features true
crime stories from around the world.”—Horror Fuel”There are a lot
of books about true crime and unsolved mysteries. However, this one
has something I covet and not always find: the right
tone…. The stories in Szereto’s book all run in perfect pace,
are all very well-written, and all hit the right tone. All authors
connect to their story and their victims. It will leave you
thinking and that’s the hallmark of a great book. Highly
recommended reading!”—Defrosting Cold Cases
