What's your favorite true crime book and author?
Is it a classic or something contemporary? Why do you prefer true crime to fictional crime books?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best,

Carolyn

Mindhunter by John Douglas
Just about anything by JD

Ann Rule runs a close second.

Why the preference? Because no matter how bizarre fiction authors may make their cases, nothing competes with the bizarre thought processes or actions of the real life criminal.

I think I might be prejudiced since I am ex-LAPD but I feel The Onion Field by J. Wambaugh is one of the best police procedurals I have ever read. Nothing pleasant about it.
Just the facts ma'am.

I will read anything that John Douglas writes. I am a fan of Ann Rule too. I will have to look into Wambaugh.
