title: True Crime Stories Volume 1: 12 Terrifying True Crime Murder Cases (List of Twelve)
author:  Ryan Becker 
description: "These murders were never discussed, or if they were, I never heard of them. Yet, Mr. Becker did these so well and it was hard for me to put down."<b> James Herington, reader<span></span></b><br /><b></b><br />"The style is appropriate, the language engaging. I couldn't put it down. The analogies and methapors, in their rare appearance only added still."<b> Miguel Caldeira, reader<span></span></b><br /><b></b><br />"Discovered Ryan Becker by browsing the true crime catagories, so glad I did! Most crimes I have not heard of and this was refreshing!" <b>Kathy Morgan, reader</b><br /><b></b><br />"Becker embarks on a journey through the minds and lives of twelve lesser known, yet no less stunning, criminals. However, don't let the brevity of each criminal's section betray the depth of the narratives. Each criminal discussed brings something new to the table and gives us insight into their actions, what led up to the acts of aggression, the act itself, and the aftermath are all described in (gruesome) detail." <b>Calvin Lui, reader</b><br /><br />"Grisly but fascinating to read the manner in which Ryan approaches his subject matter" <b>Grady Harp, reader</b>
