Publisher's Summary

Murder, terrorism, and mass killings were prominent in the news for 2018, and in this true crime anthology, you will find the cases that made international headlines from January to the end of December. 

An entire year has been included in this audiobook, and as we go into 2019, it’s important to remember not only the shocking events that took place, but also to acknowledge the many that lost their lives at the hands of others this year.

The types of cases included are:

  • Serial killers
  • Family murders
  • Mass murders
  • School shootings
  • Major hacking incidents
  • Terrorist acts
  • Cold cases

There have been many advances in technology that has led to the uncovering on many suspects in cold cases, including the identity of the Golden State Killer, a secret that had remained hidden for decades. A number of cold case murders were solved this year, bringing an end to the torture the affected families and the investigators had endured for so many years.

Tragically, school shootings were still prevalent, and mass shootings seem to be on the rise. Terrorism struck many corners of the world, in a variety of ways, but results were swifter in identifying perpetrators and taking action.

Some of the featured events in this anthology include:

  • Marshall County High School shooting
  • The Turpin family
  • Larry Nassar and Harvey Weinstein
  • Coincheck hacking
  • Bruce McArthur - serial killer
  • Atlanta cyberattack
  • International spy poisonings
  • Scottsdale spree killings
  • Miles family murders
  • Murder of XXXTentacion
  • Pittsburgh synagogue massacre
  • Mail bombing

Plus many, many more. If you are a lover of true crime, and want an anthology to add to your collection, this is the audiobook for you.

Reads like a news bulletin

I feel like this book has been rushed into production. It reads more like static news headlines of a bunch of different incidents and crimes that happened, month by month, last year, and lacked the finesse of a well written book.

I usually find myself immersed when listening to true crime but for me, this book lacked the ability to pull me in and hold my attention.

The book has a lot of content about terror attacks and religious extremist war but for me these are separate events to what I would consider True Crime.

There is also a large piece on Harvey Weinstein which I feel was written very impersonally harkening back to the news headline feel I got from the book.

I feel like every bad thing that happened this year was crammed in to this book and for that, the essence and quality of the content, as I expected it to be, was lost.

I also had an issue with the narrator moving from one telling straight into another with out a clear cut pause between to signify the end of one piece and the start of the next.

Not a great book, rushed, impersonal content that would have been so much better if only a selection of cases were discussed and researched more thoroughly.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
