My Review
Killer Case Files Vol. 4 is the first book I've read in this series, but it won't be the last. As someone who was obsessed (probably a bit too much) with true crime as a teenager, and still finds it morbidly fascinating to this day, I was both excited and apprehensive about reading this.
I should note that recently, my husband has been watching a couple different YouTubers who do conspiracy theory podcasts and true crime podcasts, and we discuss the latter on occasion. And a few days before I started reading this, there was a case mentioned in the one podcast about a trucker who outfitted his trailer as a torture chamber. Lo and behold, there was a case within the pages of this book about a trucker who used his trailer to do verry bad things to young women. And the crazy thing is, they were two separate cases. My husband and I spent a lot of time comparing the two. There really are some sick people in the world.
Anyway... back to my review...

Anyway... back to my review...
I found this collection of true crime stories to be both fascinating and disturbing. There was a story about Amityville that focused on the original family who lived there, which I thought was cool, considering most people only know about what happened with the Lutz family after they bought the house. The other nineteen cases mentioned in the book were all new to me, and I found a couple of them to be a bit sad (like the teenager who was murdered by her two friends), but most of them were kind of shocking. It makes you wonder about people and why they feel the need to kill others. As a teenager, I wanted to study them and learn more about why people killed, but I ultimately decided against that career path. Now, I just prefer to read the occasional true crime story and discuss it with my husband instead.
If you're a morbid weirdo like me who enjoys reading about true crime, check out Killer Case Files Vol. 4 (and the other volumes too). You won't be disappointed.
4.5 stars!
