Hey friends! Thanks for joining our little True Crime Book corner. I'd love to hear about you all so let me know your ultimate book and a case that interests you the most!

I'll go first:
I'm Jenny, my all-time favourite True Crime book is Bad Blood by John Carreyrou about the Theranos scandal and similarly, the Theranos fraud is probably my favourite case to date!

Hello. I’m Lauren! I haven’t read all of the quintessential true crime books yet…but I really enjoyed The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule and I’ll Be Gone In The Dark by Michelle McNamara :)

I am a new author. My book came out in February. It has been named a finalist in the 2024 CrimeCon Clue Award "Book of the Year". I'd love to tell everyone about it, but am not sure where I can pitch or promote here!

Sounds like Jeff got his plane off the runway. Nobody has said anything in here for a year plus and I'm still angling for my first honest review. I am curious about one thing: the "T" and the "C" in the name of this discussion, "TCWJ", stand for "True" and "Crime." That much is obvious. But for what on earth do the "W" and the "J" stand?
I might have asked, "what do they stand for?" I should have. I could not, however, bring myself to end a sentence with a preposition. It is just the sort of English up with which I will not put.
