'True crime has been largely ignored by criminologists to date but this concise but comprehensive study will change all of that. It examines every aspect of the genre relevant to the social sciences, including vicarious thrills, digital culture and femicide. A key text for everyone researching or studying critical, cultural or narrative criminology.' Rafe McGregor, Edge Hill University 'An engaging study of the fascination with true crime and the media representation thereof. It offers a detailed examination of some of the most (in)famous examples of crime and criminals.' Ian Marsh, University of Chester
