If binging on Netflix has achieved anything, it’s a love of true crime dramas. But what if we said you could get the same thrills (if not more) from reading about them instead? Often times, they’re so gripping to read that you can get lost in the story and for a moment forget that what you’re reading actually happened.
We’ve rounded up a varied list of true crimes: those that are buried deep in our past, others that cover huge and memorable events, some that have been adapted for the big and small screen, and a few that are just downright bizarre for good measure (such as this one about a man stealing feathers from a British museum). And of course, serial killer books for good measure too. Read them at home or around people (Covid permitting) for comfort.
