Crime Glasses

Hi! Look who decided to join us for 2022. Starting the New Year fresh. If one of your goals this year is to read more, this is the podcast for you. The first book we are reading is "Who Killed These Girls?" by Beverly Lowry. Here is the synopsis: "The facts are brutally straightforward. On December 6, 1991, the naked, bound-and-gagged, burned bodies of four girls--each one shot in the head--were found in a frozen yogurt shop in Austin, Texas. Grief, shock, and horror overtook the city. But after eight years of misdirected investigations, only two suspects (teenagers at the time of the crime) were tried; their convictions were later overturned and detectives are still working on what is now a very cold case. The story has grown to include DNA technology, coerced false confessions, and other developments in crime and punishment. But this story belongs to the scores of people involved, and from them Beverly Lowry has fashioned a riveting saga that reads like a novel, heart-stopping and thoroughly engrossing."

We will be reading everything from True Crime classics like the Ted Bundy focused “the Stranger Besides Me” by Anne Rule to more recent favorites like “We Keep the Dead Close” by Becky Cooper, which details the author’s search for the killer of Jane Britton, a Harvard student who was murdered in her off-campus apartment.
