Curated True Crime #2: Holiday Hell Free online reading

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

Maintaining the high standard of research and storytelling you loved in Killer Case Files, Curated True Crime offers a richer, theme-based exploration of criminal minds and events, deepening your understanding and appreciation for the genre.

In Volume #2: Holiday Hell we chronicle criminals who used the occasion of a festive holiday to plan and execute the most vile crimes, often as a way to deliberately increase the heartbreak of their evil intentions.

Listen how detectives and forensic science identified, tracked down, and convicted these remorseless offenders, many of whom you will have never heard about before.

Volume #2 includes . . .

- The Carnation Christmas Murders: A husband and wife living in a small town developed animosity toward her family over petty grievances. While some of us could relate to that situation, none of us would think the solution is multiple homicides on Christmas Eve.

- The Halloween Killer: A 9-year-old girl in Wisconsin went trick or treating in 1973. She went to the door of a neighbor she knew and when he opened it she stepped inside his house. He closed the door behind her.

- Missing Valentine: A stay-at-home dad began to resent his wife’s success and frequent business trips, so he seduced their 19-year-old nanny. His wife’s last Valentine’s Day ended with trash bags and a machine shop. . . . plus 12 more shocking, true crime murder stories.

A Word of Warning—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 listeners.
