Content: These are the best true crime authors you need to check out if you love crime journalism, in no particular order. Michelle McNamara
Michelle McNamara passed away before completing her first book on the search for (and her personal obsession with) the Golden Gate Killer. Even so, I’ll Be Gone in the Dark is a masterful blend of memoir and investigative journalism. While the book was posthumously completed by McNamara’s husband and research partners, you can see more of her writing at True Crime Diary. Dave Cullen
Cullen has carved out a depressingly necessary niche as a school shootings reporter, starting with his iconic tome about the Columbine High School massacre, simply called Columbine. I cried at least three times while reading his first book, a gripping narrative that explores the killers’ motives and the aftermath of their crime. His latest is Parkland: Birth of a Movement. Alfredo Corchado
Corchado is a Mexican American journalist. He currently works for the Dallas Morning News, where he reports on Mexico and its relationship with the United States as the Mexico City bureau chief.
