Unsolved Murders: True Crime Cases Uncovered by Amber Hunt, Emily G. Thompson
4.0
I wanted to read this book after reading a review and interview in Crime Monthly which is a UK magazine about the true crime. I was intrigued after the interview and love a good unsolved crime. Just a disclaimer before you read the below – I hope that all of these killers are found and when I say I found a case interesting; I’m not prompting the killer or anything, I just mean that these were the ones I learn more about.
There are twenty unsolved murders in this book from 1912 to 2010. Some of these cases are well known worldwide from the Zodiac Killer to the Black Dahlia. However, some of these were interesting to read about as I had no idea about. I found these interesting and it was an easy read. It is a non-fiction, adult crime novel. The cases I really enjoyed reading about was the Tupac Shakur case, the Murder of JonBenét Ramsey, and the Jill Dando case. This is because I knew the main concept of these cases, but it was really fascinating to learn more about the big cases.
The only weakness in my opinion was the earlier cases because it was obviously in 1912, they were quite difficult to get through, but I found them to be an easy read but did found that I enjoyed reading the ones in latter half of the book. I would say from the Zodiac Killer was when I was hooked.
I really liked this book and would recommend it to any true crime fans. I think Amber and Emily did a wonderful job with these cases and gives you more of an insider on the case. I would like to see maybe an updated version in 10 years to see if there has been any development with these cases.
