Praise for Corey Mitchell and His Masterful True-Crime Thrillers
“Corey Mitchell’s life experiences made him a writer who could empathize with crime victims in a way unique and personal way. That empathy is evident in every true crime book he wrote and is what makes his books heartfelt, compelling reads to this very day.”
—Suzy Spencer, New York Times bestselling author of Wasted
“No one faces evil head on like Corey Mitchell.”
—Gregg Olsen, New York Times bestselling author of A Killing in Amish Country
Strangler
“Incredibly intelligent, attractive, and charismatic, Tony Shore seemed to have it all. Corey Mitchell unmasks this beguiling character to reveal a self-centered monster bent on destruction. A must-read, cautionary tale of manipulation, control, and murder.”
—Diane Fanning, author of Written in Blood
“Strangler reads like a horror movie. It was such a frightening story that I held my breath from the very beginning and didn’t breathe again until it was finally over!”
—Dale Hudson, author of Die, Grandpa, Die
“Corey Mitchell’s fast-paced book literally sizzles with his portrayal of dastardly deeds in my hometown. It is truecrime storytelling at its chilling best.”
—Steve Long, author of Every Woman’s Nightmare
“In Strangler, Corey Mitchell takes you into the heart of a gripping mystery set in Houston, Texas. The more you learn about the charming Tony Shore, the more the truth behind the deception will haunt you.”
—Sue Russell, author of Lethal Intent
“The taut, cool writing of Corey Mitchell is the perfect counterpoint to the strangling humid heat that envelops the Houston crime spree. Parents, keep your children indoors and read this with the knowledge that it could happen anywhere.”
—Del Howison, editor of Dark Delicacies
“Corey Mitchell provides a fascinating and educational insight into the crimes and thought process of a narcissistic serial killer. Having interacted with such offenders, I appreciated the accurate depiction of the personality traits displayed by Tony Shore. Highly recommended!”
—Roy Hazelwood, former FBI profiler and author of Dark Dreams
“Corey Mitchell has done it again. Strangler is provocatively chilling and delivered with a compassionate respect for the justice that trumped perceived criminal superiority.”
—Joyce King, author of Hate Crime: The Story of a Dragging in Jaspar, Texas
“Strangler is a chilling account of the investigation, case history, and subsequent courtroom drama about convicted serial murderer and pedophile Anthony Allen Shore. For police detectives, it is a primer about the machinations of a sexual predator who preys on young girls. For prosecutors, it outlines some great courtroom tactics and legal truths. For female readers, this story demonstrates that relationships should be looked at from all angles and constantly reevaluated. For parents, the advice rings loud and clear: know, warn, and monitor your daughter’s whereabouts—one of his victims was age nine!”
—Andrea Campbell, forensic artist and author
“Anyone addicted to TV’s CSI owes it to themselves to read Strangler. In fact, Strangler could launch CSI: Houston. Are you paying attention, Mr. Bruckheimer?”
—Dennis McDougal, LA Times bestselling author of Blood Cold and The Yosemite Murders
Murdered Innocents
“A gory, yet sensitive, true crime tale that will scare the hell out of you.”
—Poppy Z. Brite, bestselling author of Liquor and Lost Souls
“Corey Mitchell uncovers yet another level of the insanity behind the world of youth and violence.”
—Aphrodite Jones, bestselling author of The Red Zone and A Perfect Husband
“A compelling book with provocative details of a city’s response to lost innocence; whether justice was delivered or denied, Corey Mitchell presents a solid case that hope for healing never fades.”
—Joyce King, author of Hate Crime: The Story of a Dragging in Jasper, Texas
“Murdered Innocents by Corey Mitchell is not a book you will read and forget. On this journey through a botched investigation, questionable interrogations and the eight-year ordeal of the victims’ families, Mitchell raises questions about the pursuit of justice that will haunt you for a long time to come.”
—Diane Fanning, author of Through the Window
“Author Corey Mitchell takes us right inside the search for justice—a disturbingly long and convoluted search at that. Mitchell leaves us questioning the very nature of justice in America. A haunting and thought-provoking book.”
—Sue Russell, author of Lethal Intent
