Midwest Tape Weekly May 14, 2018

With the recent capture of the Golden State Killer and the direct link to Michelle McNamara’s groundbreaking true crime novel and the in-depth research it put together to aid in catching him, true crime has transcended reportage into being a possible tool to help law enforcement to solve crimes.

This is an exciting time for the genre, and your patrons will be interested in checking out varied audiobooks and video that deal with high-profile, compelling true crime stories.

True crime writing is the fastest growing genre since the turn of the century.
