A collection of non-fiction accounts by international writers and experts on small-town true crime shows listeners that the real monsters aren’t hiding in the woods, they’re inside our towns.
Small towns aren’t always what they seem. We’ve been told nothing bad happens in small towns. You can leave your doors unlocked, and your windows wide open. We picture peaceful hamlets with a strong sense of community, and everyone knows each other. But what if this wholesome idyllic image doesn’t always square with reality? Small towns might look and feel safe, but statistics show this isn’t really true.
Tiny town, big crime. Whether in Truman Capote’s detailed murder of the Clutter family or Ted Bundy’s small-town charm, criminals have always roamed rural America and towns worldwide. Featuring murder stories, criminal case studies, and more, The Best New True Crime Stories: Small Towns contains all-new accounts from writers of true crime, crime journalism, and crime fiction. And these entries are not based on a true story - they are true stories. Edited by acclaimed author and anthologist Mitzi Szereto, the stories in this volume span the globe. Discover how unsolved murders, kidnapping, shooting sprees, violent robbery, and other bad things can and do happen in small towns all over the world.

Loved it..

I accidentally finished it while I was doing something else and couldn't get it turned off so I'm not going to send it back.
Performance was good but when I think of small towns from a reader with an American accent, I think of the United States. The writing was probably good too. But I was not interested.
Crime in other countries is not my cup of tea.

In addition to pretty awful narration, these stories were lackluster at best (I didn't finish because I couldn't see it getting any better). I like hearing about crimes in other countries, but historical stuff (over 100 years) not so much. Also, I was familiar with about a third of them--most were just poorly written and dull. This is the second terrible anthology I've tried, so I think I've learned my lesson.
Couldn't finish - returned
