Mystery on the Isles of Shoals: Closing the Case on the Smuttynose Ax Murders of 1873
I read this book before going to Boston a couple years back. I drank a Smuttynose beer there in its honor. I think the island is technically off Maine though.
I started reading this book last night. I remember seeing this case on one of those crime shows or 20/20 or? British girl goes to Japan to become a "hostess" at a "club" with her friend. Her job entails talking and listening to Japanese men who come in for companionship. She goes off with one man for lunch and disappears. Her father and sister come to Japan and use the media to get this case out there as it appears the Japanese police are disinterested in it.
People Who Eat Darkness: The True Story of A Young Woman Who Vanishes Into the Streets of Tokyo-And the Evil That Ate Her Up
Oh, I just noticed it is on the list! Oh well, I don't know if it was described or not.
It's just not the same without Stack. Will the theme return?
We'll find out July 1st, I guess. It's all been pretty hush-hush. They've said there won't be a host/narrator, so, I'm skeptical it will be UM in anything other than name.
The cases look.. decent, tho.. not sure any of them need an hour long treatment...
I just purchased In Cold Blood, and I’m looking forward to reading it.
I’m glad I found this thread, by the way!
That's my favorite. There's a lot of stuff in it I think Capote got wrong or made up, but the guy could write a story, and In Cold Blood was the best book he ever wrote.
He never intended the book to be his best; at first, it was only an experiment to see if he could write something true with all the intensity of fiction.
That he succeeded so well made any other book he ever started impossible to beat In Cold Blood. So that's the one that ended his career as a writer.
It's that intensity that brings me back to the book. I read a lot of true crime books over 12 years, but In Cold Blood was the only one I've ever read more than once. prepare for horror.

Watching now. This should have been produced as an original series. The re-mixed theme and and homage to Stack in the opening titles does not suffice. Well made but should have it's own identity.
Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders..
yeah, great book. It's one of those evil historical episodes, that is (unfortunately) fascinating.
The 2017 miniseries on the Unabomber was fascinating too (Manhunt). I also liked the early 9os miniseries on Gacy, with Brian Dennehy (To Catch a Killer). Twisted, but well done accounting..
mine would be a set of books on the same subject by an author. nick van der leek and his several trilogies on the jonbenet ramsey case, hes grouped so much information from the many sources on the subject, put them all in order in these books, in a way that helps the reader to gain all the relevant information grouped together. even after years of being a jbr case geek i found snippets of information via his books id not known before. the craven silence series was my best of the lot.
