True Crime

Having a number of crime books both the fiction and non fiction kind it has been great to get back to true crime which I liked as a teen.

Some of the true crime stories are horrific such as Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka which ashamed to say are Canadian. They were the first true crime book that I read which was Invisible Darkness. I actually couldn’t get through it as it made me very scared and made my anger so much.

That didn’t stop my love of true crime even if the first foray into it was a failure. It was quite some time before I wanted to touch true crime books again but when I did I loved them as it showed so many facets of investigations as well as gives you parts of the story that you may never have heard before.

Now with Kindle unlimited has come out there are so many great true crime shorts and a lot of them about cold cases which happen to be more of what I like a lot since they usually were much harder to solve.

The series that I like are all about older cases and how they were solved. These ones I like as they don’t go into a lot of grizzly details.

My favourite of the true crime books is by Helena Katz who wrote Justice Miscarried that is about crimes that were solved but later it was found that the people convicted were innocent. The books like this has some great cases and make it show the holes in our system and what advances in technology can do.
