Contemporary True Crime
In this episode, Alice and Bethany wrestle with ethical questions around how much they enjoy true crime books, what makes true crime fiction good or bad, and whether fiction inspired by real crimes is any different to non-fiction marketed as true crime.
The books we discuss are:
The Fact of a Body - Alexandria Marzano Lesnevich
The Red Parts - Maggie Nelson
The Adversary - Emmanuel Carrere
Forensics - Val McDermid
See What I Have Done - Sarah Schmidt
Little Deaths - Emma Flint
The Girls - Emma Cline
