12 True Crime Authors Who Will Hook You on the Genre
Looking for addicting reads? Promoted by Open Road Media | By Sarah Mangiola | Published Aug 7, 2017
True crime has fascinated readers for decades—from iconic titles like Vincent Bugliosi's Helter Skelter and Truman Capote's In Cold Blood to compelling, under-the-radar works. If you’re looking for the details of a particularly haunting true crime case, these are the authors (and books) for you. Joe Sharkey
Fatal Deceptions
Before Joe Sharkey was a true crime author, he was a columnist for The New York Times —with his columns mainly focusing on business travel. Sharkey’s investigative journalism has led him to write about numerous topics, including true crime, which is the focus of Sharkey’s books Above Suspicion, Deadly Greed, and Death Sentence. One of his most popular books, Above Suspicion —which tells the story of FBI agent Mark Putnam who murdered his mistress/informant—is getting the big screen treatment this year with a movie adaptation starring Emilia Clarke and Jack Huston.

Joan Barthel
Deadly Obsessions
In addition to being a true crime author, Barthel is also a contributor to publications including The Washington Post and The New York Times. Barthel has written a number of true crime books and biographies, including A Death in Canaan —which tells the story of Peter Reilly, an 18-year-old boy wrongly accused of killing his mother. Barthel’s book uncovers the miscarriage of justice that led to Reilly being accused of murder, and his Connecticut hometown that supported him. Amazon
