Best-selling author and award-winning journalist George Jared takes his readers on another spell-binding journey with his third true crime book, Whispers in the Willows. Whispers is an anthology style, true crime book that chronicles three unsolved murders, a series of Death Row executions, and tells the harrowing stories of two Holocaust survivors. A 22-year-old college student, Rebekah Gould, vanished from a friend’s house Sept. 20, 2004, near the town of Melbourne, Arkansas. Her partially clothed, bludgeoned body was found near a rural road not far from the house a week later. Her case has never been solved. It’s been profiled on The Dr. Oz show, and was featured on the Hell and Gone podcast, one of the top performers in 2018. Jared has written about her case since the day she vanished. There’s a glaring amount of evidence in the case that points in several directions, and he has dedicated another chapter about her in his newest work. Amanda Tusing, a 20-year-old aspiring veterinarian, left her fiancée’ home on a rain soaked night. A few hours later she would be dead, and her case has baffled law officers for almost 20 years. Karen Johnson Swift was a mother of four that vanished just before Halloween, 2011, in Dyersburg Tennessee. Her body was found in a cemetery a couple of months later. Her killer remains free. Four men who committed unspeakable acts of violence and torture were set to die on Death Row in April, 2017. Jared was there for the planned executions and gives a detailed look into one the darkest places on Earth. The book also includes two Holocaust survivors and their tales of survival. The murders they witnessed cannot be imagined. Jared has also written two other true crime books, Witches in West Memphis … and another false confession and The Creek Sides Bones … Reality is more horrifying than fiction. Those books included chapters about the internationally famous West Memphis Three case. Jared wrote more news stories about the WM3 case than any other journalist in the world and includes Death Row interviews with Damien Echols. Those books also detail a series of the heinous capital murders he’s covered through the years. The best-selling author’s stories have been featured on the Discovery Channel, in the New York Times, the Hell and Gone podcast, the USA Today, and in many other media outlets around the world.

My name is George Jared, and I'm an author and investigative journalist that has written two, true-crime books, “Witches in West Memphis … and another false confession,” and “The Creek Side Bones … reality is more horrifying than fiction.”

Witches chronicles the West Memphis Three case and another murder case involving a false confession in Gosnell. I've written more news stories about WM3 than any journalist in the world. I was cited in the Academy Award nominated documentary about the case, “Paradise Lost Three: Purgatory” and I was also cited in Damien Echols' New York Times best-selling autobiography, “Life After Death.” I interviewed him while he was still on Arkansas' Death Row, and I broke the story when he and his cohorts were released from prison in 2011.

I've won numerous accolades including 11 first place awards with Associated Press Managing Editors and Arkansas Press Association for investigative journalism, feature writing, spot news, headline writing, and others. The front cover of Creek Side was selected in 2017 by the Arkansas library system for its poster chronicling the best works produced in the state during the last year. I've been interviewed by numerous newspapers, and media outlets for my coverage of that case and other capital murder cases I've covered through the years.

I'm very passionate about journalism and these cases I've covered. I hope readers enjoy both these books, and I'm always open to fair criticism and comments.

I lived in Batesville Ark when Rebekah Gould went missing and when this book came out it was a must buy for me. Very informative and well written. I actually have all of George's true crime books and they are all very good.

A heartbreaking story written with compassion but also with professional objectivity. The author gives a chilling account of detailed events that took place. This book is definitely a page turner and well written. In my opinion the book basically reads itself because once you start reading it you effortlessly keep going. I personally like to dive deep into a book. The author reflects back to his personal experiences during the time of the events. By doing so, I myself looked back at what I was doing during the timeframe of these horrific tragedies that happened so close to home. Overall good read......highly recommend

Gripping and heart-breaking

Once again, George Jared provides us with a detailed look into true crime in Arkansas, focusing on three murders which remain unsolved. His writing style puts readers in his shoes as he investigates each case, uncovering pertinent information along the way and steering him towards likely suspects. The roller coaster of emotions felt not only by these victim's families, but also George, is palpable. I commend George for continuing to provide insight and expertise into these cases, in order for them to not lose public attention. I expect that when an arrest is made in any of these cases, and the perpetrator(s) is put on trial, he will be sitting in the courtroom taking notes for his next book, in order to provide some written closure for these victims and their families. Thank you for being an advocate!

George is such an amazing, talented author. I've read all his books and they are so well written. He dares to go where most people won't by really digging into these crimes to truly help solve these cases. He is thorough and details events that really open your eyes to what others wish to keep close. His books are daring and dive right in to the hardcore truth. They will draw you in to know more and crave justice for these victims. I highly recommend this book! My hope is that all these victims will receive justice and these crimes solved.
