I don't know how many fans of true crime are out there, but I just finished this book



and while it is truly a heartbreaking story from beginning to end (and I'm still confused as to what REALLY happened..doubt we'll ever know Sad ) I just couldn't put it down!

Does anyone have any other recommendations on good true crime books?  I highly recommend this one, if you are a true crime fan!

Salvation and Suicide, the Jim Jones story. I could not put this book down, but I don't think it's available on the Kindle.

In Cold Blood of course, and Serpantine by Thomas Thompson. Both are classics.

My wife is an avid fan of the True Crime genre, and she absolutely loves anything written by Ann Rule.
