Ignore the sensationalist title and cover. These are well-written essays, often with alternative takes on pretty famous crime stories.

I enjoyed this collection of previously published essays and articles that center around crime. I initially read it for Sarah Marshall’s contribution on Ted Bundy (I’m a big fan of her podcast), but regrading the Buzzfeed feature on Gypsy Rose Blanchard was just as good as when I originally read it, and the chapter that focused on one of the victims of the Texas Tower Sniper was fascinating. Really interesting collection here.
