Praise for The Best New True Crime Stories: Partners in Crime
“Engaging tales of bad people doing bad things. Killer couples, husband-and-wife pimps, serial arsonists, and married spies in tales that hopscotch across the globe, from North America to Europe and as far afield as Australia, New Zealand, and Trinidad and Tobago.”—Dean Jobb, author of Empire of Deception and The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream
“Readers can’t get enough true crime and here comes another winner in Mitzi Szereto’s The Best New True Crime Stories: Partners in Crime. Gathering stories from some of the world’s best writers, Szereto puts together another page-turning collection, telling true crime tales of the wicked, wild, and wonderful. You’ll love this book and the stories of devious partnerships that ended in mayhem and murder!”—Bob Batchelor, cultural historian and author of The Bourbon King: The Life and Crimes of George Remus, Prohibition’s Evil Genius
“Within these pages, you’ll read about true-life murderers, as well as those who only haunt the chilling works of fiction, written by authors who understand well the mindset of the murderer. Read this book!”—Kevin M. Sullivan, author of The Bundy Murders: A Comprehensive History
“A wonderful addition to the true crime genre.”—Scott Bonn, Ph.D. Criminologist, author, and producer
“If you like true crime with something extra, The Best New True Crime Stories Partners in Crime delivers. The crimes and criminals are compelling enough, but what sets these tales apart is the attention to setting and social milieu. Each crime is a product of its time and place, and context is enriched by digressions into the deprivations of wartime London, the pros and cons of using strychnine vs. arsenic on sheep farms in New Zealand, and a British version of The Americans featuring an antiquarian bookseller and his amateur photographer wife. An altogether enjoyable and instructive romp.”—Stephanie Kane, crime writer
“Mitzi Szereto has done it again in The Best New True Crime Stories: Partners in Crime, the fifth anthology of true crime stories focusing on partners doing the deeds…. The variety of crimes from all over the world and from different epochs as not just ‘whodunnits?’ but ‘whydunnits?’ added another layer of interest, showing, more often than not, how criminals can come from anywhere anytime.”—Readers’ Favorite
“From Bittaker and Norris to Fred and Rosemary West, we are all too familiar with the deadly effects of partnerships in crime. The true crime stories in this collection range from wartime London to late twentieth century Australia, from noir narrative to a disquisition on the use of strychnine as a poison, but all of them focus on the evil that can arise when potential killers meet. Fascinating, shocking—and highly recommended.”—Danuta Kot (Reah), author of the East Riding series
“The latest in the excellent The Best New True Crime Stories series of anthologies focuses on criminal couples, and range from Paul Willett’s evocative wartime-set tale, the inspiration for Chicago Joe and the Showgirl, grisly goths and a match ‘made in hell,’ spies in suburbia and sleazy goings-on in a Chelsea apartment complex.”—Choice magazine (UK)
