Summary
Spanning murder cases from the beginning of the 20th century to today, this is a must-hear for fans of true crime and will also be compelling to mystery and thriller listeners. The contributors include Harold Schechter, Katherine Ramsland, Carol Anne Davis, Burl Barer, and other leading writers in this genre.
In February 1975, nine-year-old Marcia Trimble left her house in Nashville to deliver Girl Scout cookies in the neighborhood. She never returned. After a massive but fruitless search, her body was discovered on Easter Sunday. Outrage and horror gripped the community of Nashville, but the murder investigation was frustrated at every turn. The case went cold for three decades until it was finally solved.
In January 1997, Herbert Blitzstein was found murdered in the living room of his Las Vegas townhouse. A notorious mob insider, "Fat Herbie" had pursued loan sharking and other rackets for decades. Now, Blitzstein had been dispatched gangland style - by three bullets to the back of the head - in what appeared to be a classic contract killing. But the details of who killed him and why turned out to be much more complicated, and the real motives and circumstances remain murky to this day.
These are just two examples of the riveting stories assembled in this unparalleled collection of some of the top true crime writers in the world. Each of the 17 contributors draws on his or her own strengths, backgrounds, interests, and research skills to describe, in a vivid narrative, not only the facts of each notorious case but also the terrible emotions and macabre circumstances surrounding the crimes.

Average - nothing special
Didn't bother finishing. Doesn't keep you enthralled, nothing 'masterly' about it.
I need to write a few more words to ensure review is accepted.

Interesting mix of stories
Contained some interesting stories which kept me entertained. I found the female narrator's voice a little robotic, but it didn't massively affect listening to the stories

Sadly the narrators sound computerised
It started ok but went downhill from there. I definately won't be finishing it!

So boring.
I thought this would be a good selection of 'leading writers of the genre' giving a new take on past true crime cases. Boy, was I wrong. This is SO boring. Uninteresting cases, standard newspaper writing and narrators who don't seem to be interested in what they are reading. Saying that, I strongly imagine that Tara Ochs is the name given to a computer voice.
Not everything free is worth the price.
