Book Review: Curated True Crime #1: Ritual Killers

 

Amazon best-selling and Firebird True Crime award-winning author Jamie Malton, in collaboration with new author Aiden Galway, have created a new True Crime series of specially curated stories that each carry a common theme.

In Volume #1: Ritual Killers we look into the minds of criminals who formed their own justifications for committing the ultimate act of murder. These killers were compelled to repeatedly follow their personal rituals before, during, and after crimes. Many believing they were protected by supernatural forces, some trying to re-live a sick memory, and others were cunning and methodical planners avoiding detection.

Read how detectives and forensic science identified, tracked down, and convicted some of the worst offenders known, many of whom you will have never heard about before.

Volume #1 includes . . .

Blonde, Blue-Eyed A 15-year-old girl from Arroyo Grande, California, met with three boys under the guise of friendship.

The Witch's After a warning from a fortune teller that all of her children would die, Leonarda embarked on a series of ritual murders where she made soup and candy from the bodies of her victims - all in the belief it would protect her children. A Studied A state trooper in Texas made a routine traffic stop. While speaking to the driver he became suspicious and looked in the trunk of the car. He found a ski mask, firearm, and the phone of a missing teenage girl. He didn’t realize he had also just found an elusive serial killer who had been on a rampage for over a decade.. . plus 12 more shocking, true crime murder storiesIf you enjoy gripping true crime stories, you’ll love Curated True Crime.

The explicit details of these murders come directly from eyewitness accounts, interviews, police reports, court transcripts, crime scenes, and autopsy reports. They contain disturbing facts that may not be suitable for all readers.


My Review

Another intriguing collection of crime stories. Wow, the things people will do when they believe that another entity is speaking to them or to gain power. While the stories are short, they still feature a good number of details to satisfy true crime fans. 

A lot of the crimes committed involved lots of victims and sadly young children. Because the crimes are ritual based, they involved the victims suffering horrific deaths. Luckily, with these cases the criminals are apprehended. 

I personally would recommend listening to the audio version of this book. Narrator, Greg Sisco does a great job of voicing these stories. I stayed in the moment and was able to stay focused on the stories.
