Cold Blooded Murder

The book is filled with stories about brutal murders, and people who thought they were clever enough not to get caught. I like that the stories are short and to the point, and especially the part how the police is reacting, and how and when they figure out who did it. Then it's a matter of proving it.

I do understand that most cases (in general) are about the spouse killing his or her partner, maybe with a helping hand, but I still think that they cases could have varied a bit more. There are so many gruesome murders in the US so it would have been interesting digging deeper into some stranger cases. Not saying these cases were bland, most definitely not.

It is hard to pick a "favourite", which sounds brutal, choosing a favourite out of all the murder stories, but the one that stuck with me was the all American hero, boy next door type, football player, who murdered several women, the I-5 bandit. Another case that stuck with me was the case of a teenage girl who wanted to get rid of her family because they wouldn't let her see her boyfriend.

A book for any follower of True Crime - Cold Blooded Murder by Brad Hunter is a well written book on a series of cases and crimes committed throughout the years.

Based in America, the book featured cruel murders and psychopathic killings and had a chapter dedicated to each one crime. Starting with the setting of the scene and an introduction to the persons involved and the persons of interest, the author did a good job at putting the readers mind into the how, what, why and when of the occurrences.

I found it was written delicately and respectfully, whilst also shedding light to the reader with the goings on and what had happened during the cases at the time. I also liked that there was a little post script at the end of every case chapter, updating the reader with proceedings and the current position on the case outcome.

Books like these never fail to chill me and Brad Hunter dealt with the delicate subject matter very well. It definitely delivers on the title the book intends to give!

A really well written and informative book of true crimes and their outcomes.
I particularly liked the updates given at the end of each story, which makes this book stand out from other true crime books.
Very interesting and a definite recommendation from me.

Tales of real life Murders in America that I hadn’t heard about. The author has a very easy to read writing style and writes in a totally accessible way, explaining what certain things mean to non American readers.

Highly recommended to all fans of true crime.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

As an author of true crime myself (Bloody Yorkshire) I was excited to read this book. Really well-written detailing the facts of each case. Many of the cases were new to me.

If you love reading true crime, this is a must read.
