Be The Expert/ Ask the Expert/ Become the Expert
You can either share 3 or more books on a single topic that you have read and can recommend (be the expert), you can put the call out for good nonfiction on a specific topic that you have been dying to read (ask the expert), or you can create your own list of books on a topic that you’d like to read (become the expert)
Last year I choose be the expert so this year I’m going with become the expert! I listened to a lot of true crime podcasts and love watching true crime documentaries too so I might as well complete the triangle and start reading more true crime books too. These three books are on top of my list!
I’ll Be Gone in the Dark | The Stranger Beside Me | The Five

I haven’t read a ton of true crime, but it’s such an interesting genre – hope you enjoy all of these!
I REALLY want to read The Stranger Beside Me. I always hear people talking about it. I hope you read it!
My favorite true crime book is Wicked Intentions by Kevin Flynn It is part memoir (of a reporter) and part true-crime tale.
True crime is fascinating, yet a bit too creepy for me! It is definitely an intriguing genre and I think the Ted Bundy story is one that looks really interesting, for sure. 😉
Oooo good one!! I listen to so many true crime podcasts! I think the very first true crime book I ever read was A Stranger Beside Me. The scariest – Richard Ramirez. I had to hide the book in my car at night like a weirdo lolol.
I love true crime. I’ve read the first two books, which I am sure you will enjoy but regrettably I still haven’t read The Five.
I’ve been meaning to try some true crime podcasts, so maybe true crime non-fiction will follow 🙂
Ooh I’ll bet the Five is fascinating!
I don’t read a lot of true crime, or watch on TV for that matter. I imagine though that they are quite fascinating.
Ohhh, I adored I’ll be Gone in the Dark — have you everwatched the doco? The untold lives of the women killed by Jack the Ripper looks like it’s giving the women that have been defined by their death at his hands a voice — which islong overdue.
I just discovered The Five the other day and I’m really looking forward to reading it. Fingers crossed it’s as good as it sounds!
I have seen the first one on many blogs, sounds like a great book.
