The only one I’ve ever read was “Witness” by Amber Frey, she was Scott Petersons mistress and it was totally engrossing. I loved it, read it fairly close to when it came out. Made me want to read more true crime (but they just got added to my TBR collection ?‍♀️)

I agree with shelter Skelter and In Cold Blood. I’d also add I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, American Fire and The Stranger Beside Me.
