Mitzi Szereto’s book, The Best New True Crime Stories, is said to have interesting accounts and research that is just outstanding.
We have all heard of the famous criminals, like Jack the Ripper, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, and the list goes on. But what about the ones that we don’t hear about? Such as Naun Briones, that only went after the rich, or Freddie Brenman, a notorious street-fighter that had ties to the Dillinger Gang? Mitzi Szereto has teamed up with other award-winning and international crime writers to bring us this new addition to “The Best New True Crime Stories”.
What did I like?
I have read Mitzi’s other books, so I had an idea what this one was going to be like, but I was utterly surprised at some of the criminals in this book. I mean sure, the ones like John Dillinger have been talked about for years, but I had never heard anything about his bag man Freddie Brenman. Can you just imagine being involved with those guys? I heard stories told about my mother-in-law working for Al Capone, but sometimes you wonder if these things are even true. But the stories are still there, and they don’t seem to go away.
What will you like?

Fox Dunham, David Breakspear, Shashi Kadapa, Janel Comeau, Tom Larsen, Deidre Pirro, Anthoney Ferguson, Dean Jobb, Paul Willetts, and Paul Williams.
