And sure as hell not the group I’m forced to play nice with. Definitely not the academy I’m supposed to attend.
I shouldn’t be here. Let me rephrase that…I never wanted to be here. Genres: Dark Bully Romance, Mature High School/Young Adult Romance Published by Self-Published on July 28, 2022 This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Below, 30 true-crime books to add to your reading list.I received a complimentary copy of the book from the blog tour host in exchange for an honest review. But above all, they tell gripping stories. Some are pulpy, while others deal with serious questions about racial violence and prejudice. The books on this list span historical eras and geographic place. Sometimes those stories are historical oddities being told for the first time, and sometimes they’re urgent, of-the-moment investigations into contemporary social problems. Starting with Truman Capote’s “nonfiction novel” In Cold Blood in 1966, that fascination birthed a genre: “true crime.” Today, book-length investigations like Capote’s still allow journalists to dig deep into a single story more fully than any other medium. People have been interested in crime for as long as stories have been told - Shakespeare’s plays are full of murder, sometimes featuring real (royal) people, for instance - and in the early 20th century, American newspapers printed every detail of every murder case they could find. True-crime documentaries, docu-dramas, and above all, podcasts, have become so popular that shows like Only Murders in the Building and Poker Face can poke fun at the trend.īut true crime didn’t begin with Serial or My Favorite Murder, or any of the recent miniseries based on salacious true crimes, from The Staircase to Candy (or Love and Death, which, like Candy, tells the story of a Texas housewife accused of murder). It’s no secret that people across the world are addicted to true crime.
