Was asleep during #seewhatihavewon 😭 & it was open to those outside of the US 😭😭 Look forward to reading See What I Have Done at some point! Loved seeing everyone's #truecrime recs. I flew through this one last week, thanks to @Reviewsbylola ☺️ I recalled this case, it was all over international media. Despite the B movie cover, this was a gripping read & good on the investigative details. Devastating towards the end when the bodies were found.

Reviewsbylola I'm glad you liked it too! The media coverage from the case is still so vivid in my mind. The case was featured on Dateline this past Friday and I recorded it but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. 7y
batsy Thank you for the recommendation! Yes it was a widely publicised case. I heard about the Dateline show, it sounds interesting! 7y

This was the latest true crime book to totally blow my mind. So so good!!! I'd still like to take a tour of Chicago and see all the sights from the book that still exist. Amazing!

Reviewsbylola I loved how atmospheric this one was! 7y
LauraJ We just talked about this book at my book club. It wasn't a selection, but most of us have read it and were trying to convince those that haven't that they should. 7y
LauraBrook @Reviewsbylola It totally was! It's so great. @LauraJ Oh my gosh, they totally should! It's one of the few books that I haven't heard anything bad about from anyone. Kind of impressive! I keep holding out hope for an excellent DiCaprio and Scorsese adaptation. 7y
LauraJ @LauraBrook If only 🤞🏼 7y

#SEEWHATIHAVEWON I read this a long time ago, but it remains one of my favorite true crime stories. Ann Rule has a great way of telling a story. I don't have my copy any more, but I think this was the cover I had. @Liberty

Reviewsbylola Loved this one! So creepy that she knew him personally. 7y
AmyG One of the best. My daugter just read this. She is now hooked on true crime. 7y

manifestsanity
Remembering Satan | Lawrence Wright
post image

In 1988 a family is shattered when two daughters accuse their father, a deputy sheriff, of abuse. Soon the allegations involve torture and satanic rituals. The accused deny the charges and then their memories are "recovered." They begin to recall the occult acts. The most disturbing aspect of these events is the malleability of memory and American hysteria. A tragic and terrifying true crime book. My copy is beat the hell up. #SEEWHATIHAVEWON

Hooked_on_books Sounds just like the Salem witch trials. Apparently it can always happen again. 7y

I remember seeing this on the news when I was a kid, so I picked up he book when I was a teenager. It was what made me fall in love with true crime as a genre.

#SEEWHATIHAVEWON

LeslieO It got me into police procedurals and legal thrillers! I first read it at 14 and reread it last year. 7y
AmyG @LeslieO I should reread this, too. I think I was 16 when I read it. 7y
LeslieO @AmyG I was on a Mason kick last summer. I listened to a 12 part podcast on the murders, read The Girls, and re-read Helter Skelter 7y
AmyG Manson by Jeff Guinn was very good. Same guy who just wrote the new Jim Jones/Jonestown book. I may have never gotten over my Manson kick. 😳 (edited) 7y

#SEEWHATIHAVEWON I don't make it a habit of reading gruesome crime stories, but this is probably my favorite as it gave me insight to Capote's personality.

AmyG One of my most favorites! 7y
Reviewsbylola Loved this. 7y
Dolly @AmyG @Reviewsbylola It certainly held my interest and sparked a search for more books by and about Capote 7y
AmyG The Gerald Clarke bio abouand Capote is really good. 7y
Dolly @AmyG Hmmm I thought I read that but don't see it on my read list. I did pick up the Capote movie so that's probably what I was thinking. Thanks for the recommendation 😃 7y
