Supper Sleuths

Truth is Stranger than Fiction: True Crime

For a change of pace, Supper Sleuths will be investigating the mystifying and scary world of true crime. All the books on this list are non-fiction—either accounts of true crimes or investigative reports that have been published in book form. Some crimes are capers and frauds, but most books on this list are about murders that happened to real people who left real survivors and sometimes went unsolved.

So speculate about the culprits, murderers, and thieves, and try to figure out the real life mysteries. Few on this list are for the Cozy lover, so hold on for a bumpy ride.

The following is a list of authors who fit into this category. This is by no means an exhaustive list, and please let us know if you feel that an author should be here. Please read one or more of these authors and/or titles, and come prepared to discuss your impressions of them with the group.
