A very quick read and true there are some very bizarre crimes indeed featured,the one sticks in my mind is the Compoumd murders
Well researched and written to be accessible for everyone without jargon etc,guess found the non spernatural ones more interesting to read

A must read for any true crime junkie. Some real shockers here, written well with just enough detail. Twenty individual story's set in various era's. I finished in two sittings and highly recommend. Many thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

4.5/5 stars! I really enjoyed this book. I'm a big true crime junkie, so I had heard of some of these stories before. The stories were handled well and there was no bias in any of the reporting. I also appreciated that the stories were short, so it was easy to move from one to the next. It was a quick enjoyable crime read.

As a fan of true crime documentaries I was excited to read this book.

I really enjoyed reading through the 20 true crime stories. They are short stories however they give you enough information, facts about each case that keeps you hooked.

Thank you!

This is a relatively short collection of true crime. Some if them I didn't see them as being bizarre. Told from a factual point of view this is an enjoyable read with just enough detail to entertain. Perfdct gor any true crime reader who enjoys hearing a little about cases rgat don't make the headlines.
Thank you to netgallery, publisher and author for my 4 star arc

The Most Bizarre True Crime Stories Ever Told explores 20 unusual crime cases, some of which are solved, others remain unsolved.

I loved how concise Rosewood’s writing style was throughout this book and found that the facts of the case were delivered in a very clear way. Unlike a lot of true crime content available, I liked that this book wasn’t over the top in terms of descriptions of violence or gore and the whole tone of the book felt respectful to the victims of the crimes described. All 20 of the true crime stories chosen were fascinating and although I knew of a few of them before, most of them were new to me.

Overall this book was extremely informative and I enjoyed the direct manner in which the information was conveyed.
