Book Review: Killer Case Files Volume 2

 

This is a revised and expanded second edition of Killer Case Files: Book Two.
This edition includes updated case developments, additional stories, and expanded material not included in the original release.

If you’ve read the original edition, this version delivers new insights, newly uncovered details, and additional cases that deepen the investigation into some of the most disturbing crimes ever committed.

In Killer Case Files: Book Two, true crime author Jamie Malton examines real murder investigations, revealing how detectives, forensic scientists, and prosecutors pieced together the truth behind crimes that initially seemed impossible to solve.

The Truth Will Out When thirteen-year-old Yara Gambirasio stepped out of her gymnastics center on a snowy evening in northern Italy, she was never seen alive again. What followed was the largest and most expensive DNA investigation in Italian history, with over twenty-two thousand samples collected and tested before investigators traced the killer through a decades-old family secret no one was supposed to know.

She Kills John Gentry turned his car key and the vehicle exploded. Investigators found two sticks of dynamite wired beneath the hood and quickly identified a suspect: his fiancee, the woman who stood to collect on his life insurance. What they uncovered next was far worse than one attempted murder. Judy Buenoano had been killing for years.

No Weapon, No Fingerprints Michelle Martinko was found murdered in a mall parking lot on a December night in Iowa in 1979. The car had been wiped clean, the weapon was gone, and there were no fingerprints. The case went cold for nearly forty years, until a woman in another state uploaded her DNA to a genealogy database and unknowingly handed investigators the answer they had been waiting for.

Teenage Jealousy Twelve-year-old Shanda Sharer was lured into a car, driven to a remote field, and subjected to hours of torture before being set on fire at dawn. Her killers were four teenage girls driven by jealousy over a romantic rivalry. Forty-seven years later, all four are free.

. . . plus eighteen more shocking true crime investigations from Jamie Malton's Killer Case Files.

My Review

I was not familiar with these cases. I found them interesting and sad at the same time. What I liked about this new revised, expanded edition is that it gave me the most current updated information about the cases. 

So, it was not like just watching or reading about a past case and then having to go search to find out what happened. Jamie does that for us, the readers. If the case is just a few years old, sometimes the verdict is still pending. 

As a true crime fan, I enjoyed this collection of stories. Other true crime fans will like this book to. So don't wait, go read this book now.
