This Needs To Be Said...

This week Mrs. TNTBS hosts author, Kim Daly of True Crime File - Compendium

THE TRUE CRIME FILE: Serial Killers, Famous Kidnappings, Great Cons, Survivors & Their Stories, Forensics, Oddities & Absurdities, Quotes & Quizzes - compiled by Kim Daly (Workman Publishing, May 10, 2022) - delivers more than 200 stories of murder, mayhem, and survival.

But this is not your average crime book—Daly, who holds a master’s degree in English with a focus on trauma studies and has worked as a rape crisis counselor, gets to the heart of true crime while remaining respectful of the victims. She examines trending and notorious cases in a less salacious, more balanced manner that modern true crime fans will appreciate.

So, while readers familiar with Inventing Anna, The Stranger Beside Me, and This Is a Robbery will find entries on Cassie Chadwick, Ed Kemper, and the 1911 theft of the Mona Lisa, they will also see these stories told with an emphasis on awareness, victim advocacy, and social justice.

From tales of slashers and serial killers, grifters and con artists dogged investigators and miraculous survivors, there is something of interest on every page. Each entry is succinct yet packed with detail, giving needed context for those readers just beginning to explore the thrilling vagaries of true crime while also providing a new lens for fans who have been delving into the subject for years.
