Perfect book for people with short attention spans. Chapters are short and to the point. Not the book to read if you want any in depth information, but a good read if you want to waste a bit of time that doesn't require much deep thought.

Title: The Killer Book of True Crime: Incredible Stories, Facts and Trivia from the World of Murder and Mayhem

Authors: Tom Philbin, Michael Philbin

Review: Many folks are interested, at least on some level, in crime. It is the car wreck mentality. Humans are fascinated by the illegal, the dangerous, but want to keep a safe distance from it at the same time.

The Killer Book of True Crime will let you indulge your fascination with the underbelly of society, while sitting in the comfort of your living room. You can read stories on notorious serial killers, arsonists, and mobsters. Sprinkled within the stories are blurbs that detail slang terms used in the specific type of crime being discussed. There are even trivia questions, where you match the criminal with their crime.

This book gives you a healthy dose of various crimes and criminals, from organized crime, to prostitution, to mass murder. And throughout the book, there are stories from police, coroners who deal with crime every day. The Killer Book of True Crime allows you a unique glimpse into the shadowy criminal underworld.

This book was hard to put down. If you are like me, one who loves true crime facts, this is for you. It has info from Robbery to Murder. The book has little known info on some infamous crimes and criminals. Overall, I was very pleased with this book.

Only buy one book from these writers. They have variations on the true crime topic. AT LEAST 1/3 of this book is copied word for word from "The Killer Book of Infamous Murders." Uncool.

I am a fan of true crime. The Killer book of True crime has stories of many famous crimes. I am a trivia fan also.
