I LOVE true crime. But I find that at the used bookstore I go to new releases are hard to find. They just put them all together. They don’t display new releases.
Any by Ann Rule and @Kathryn. I have read all of them and enjoyed every single book. Kathryn is still writing new TC books and some novels as well.
Love anything about Ted Bundy or The Krays
M William Phelps all of his true crime books are great
Following
Devil’s Knot by Mara Leveritt is an amazing book and I highly recommend it.
I read one recently. The Killer of Little Shepherds: A True Crime Story and the Birth of Forensic Science by Douglas Starr. It was really good!
I do! I just recently read The Ice Man, it was fantastic! by Philip Carlo.
@Angel I read this a few years ago, how evil was he ?
I know right! I never heard of this guy until I got the book Victoria!
@Angel Have you ever seen the interview with him, it’s on YouTube. He is so creepy.
I did see some of that! He was Creepy!!
Victoria, I thought it was fascinating that he took bredit for killing Jimmy Hoffa, what do you think? I think he did! I think it happened how he said, but who knows?
@Angel Sounded horrific & I wouldn’t put it past him ?
@Angel I might read it again, I’ve forgot a lot of it, it’s been so long
Serpentine ..old but good
Ann rule, the staircase,
Rust and stardust
Me!
Loved “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark”
Killers of the Flower Moon. So interesting. I cried, I got furious. Unbelievable that the story was true!!
Fatal Vision , Under the banner of Heaven, In cold blood, Helter Skelter.
Helter Skelter is as real as it gets.
Kathryn Casey, M. William Phelps,
Anything by M William Phelps
@Shanna
@Shanna Her books are so good!!!
@Shanna
Read all @Shanna True Crime books now because she has a new one coming out in a few months!!
@Kathy Thank you!
@Victoria @Shanna is an amazing True Crime Author.
Zodiac by Robert Graysmith is one of the best. Also The Hunt for the Green River Killer by Carlton Smith & Thomas Guillon. You should follow that with Green River Running Red by Ann Rule. (I’m not a big fan of her writing but she does a really, really good job here giving voices to the victims.)
Helter Skelter was really good. I was reading Anne McNamara’s “I’ll be gone in the Dark” when they caught the Golden State Killer… I was really caught up in that one.
@Carla Michelle** ?
@Jackie is correct…Michelle McNamara ( I mixed that up with Anne Rule)
In Cold Blood
Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit by John Douglas is very good. He interviewed all the big serial killers.
Yep. Great book. One of the first criminal (serial killer) profilers.
The Last Victim by Jason Moss is good. Actually a book if ‘interviews with serial killers’ (mainly John Wayne Gacy..creeepy.
No. That star makes your post look so special
Ice Man – Philip Carlo
