F***ed Up S**t

Long-time friends Alvin and Fran talk about the true crime you probably haven't heard of, because most podcasts cover the white male serial killers and not the minority serial killers covered in Affirmative Murder. Sprinkled with adult language, mood lightening occasional humour, and conversations about difficult topics, these two manage to be irreverent, informative, intelligent, and enlightening.
They don't mind if you look sideways at them when you pass them on the street, as long as you look at everyone else with suspicion too.
Welcome to the most educational fact-free zone you ever entered. ♥️

Erika (17788 KP) rated Savage Appetites: Four True Stories of Women, Crime, and Obsession in Books

Feb 14, 2021

I'm a huge true crime fan, which is the subject of this book and I'm writing this as I sit here, watching Dateline on St. Valentine's day. It's looking at why women specifically are drawn to the cases, and solving them. The author uses 4 women who all got involved with famous and notorious cases, in different roles.
By far, the creepiest was the woman who entered into the Tate family's lives. It gave me the willies. There was also a female that ended up marrying an incarcerated dude. That's always creeped me out as well.
Anyway, it's an interesting read if you're one of the many people obsessed with true crime.

A modern day 'In Cold Blood'

This is a pretty incredibly written book about a real life murder investigation coinciding with the author's own harrowing experiences. While true crime is now a hot genre, Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich has weaved together a humane story, a backdrop of how this horrifying crime occurred not dissimilar to how Truman Capote wrote In Cold Blood. However, her own horrific story parallels the investigation giving the entire novel a whole new dimension. Recommended read indeed.

Erika (17788 KP) rated Death in the City of Light: The True Story of the Serial Killer Who Terrorised Wartime Paris in Books

Sep 20, 2017

This was a fairly solid true crime read. It was an interesting read, and the murders were horrible. Though, I couldn't make heads or tails of the real motive of the crimes. Money? Killing Nazis? Protecting the French Resistance? The author offers what he thought went down, but I wasn't really content.

A dark crime, comedy caper that is driven by the characters. Quite odd a lot of the time with scenes and dialogue that don't add up to much. The fact it's based on a true story shows how bad things can go when you try to get a little bit of money.
