Mysterious Murders: True Crime Tales of Unsolved Murder Cases and Mysterious Deaths

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The tragedy and injustice of an unsolved murder tends to have a profound effect on true crime enthusiasts. As a keen true crime follower, I can't learn about an unsolved murder and not try to figure out who did it and why. From suspicious deaths to unsolved massacres, the Mysterious Murders anthology covers crimes that provokes the inner detective in all of us. The cases in this book have gone years, often decades, without a shred of justice for the victims. Stories such as 'The Boy in the Box' and the case of the teen girl bludgeoned to death by an unknown assailant will leave you perplexed as to who committed these crimes, and how they got away with it. Some cases expose the depravity of human nature, such as The Keddie Cabin murders, where a family was brutally slain as they slept. Then there are fascinating, stranger than fiction cases, like the tale of Teresita Basa, whose story reads like a movie script. I've researched many cold cases over the years, and from one keen true crime reader to another, I've included ones I feel don't get as much attention or coverage (like The Zodiac Killer or Jack the Ripper, for example). While some of these cases did hit headlines at the time they happened, it's frustrating to find lack of clues ended up in lack of interest over time. True crime is never the lightest of reads, but the cases in these book are made all the more heavy due to the victims never being granted justice, nor their families closure. It's frightening to think that when a crime goes unpunished, it will likely be repeated, a notion that makes the crimes in this anthology all the more chilling.

Autorenporträt

Hi, I'm Drew. I was born in Ireland but moved to the UK for university in 2009. Initially pursuing a career in media, I began work as a runner for a TV programme, eventually working as a researcher. However, my passion for true crime was always in the background, and during this time I hoped to create my own documentary on a little-covered true crime case that fascinated me (which I still might write a book about!) I'm an avid reader and writer with an interest in true crime, unsolved mysteries and the perplexing behaviours we sometimes exhibit as human beings. In 2020, I decided I wanted to pursue a career writing about one of the most interesting yet macabre aspects of life: true crime. Researching and writing are my passions, which I get to do every day with my book projects. Delving in into the depths of human depravity can sometimes get a bit heavy, so aside from writing, I enjoy walking my dogs, nature, and a good movie.
