It lands in front of me any number of ways (Goodreads, ads, articles, Amazon), and I read the blurb. If that sounds like it’s for me, I read the first few pages. If I like the style and flow, I purchase. Not everyone can hook me on voice alone, but this author did. And he strung me along with an honest, no-holds-barred account of his findings, inserting a dash of personal history here and there to support why it is he’s so crime-obsessed. A fellow crime fanatic, James’s story resonated with me. As for the case, his theories seem as plausible as any (or at least supported by facts as he received them from numerous sources close to Maura Murray). I didn’t know a thing about this disappearance before reading True Crime Addict so I can’t say if this is new or old material, but it’s an interesting introduction. Overall, an excellent book for the true crime fan. While I won’t say Maura’s is the most salacious case, the author presents it in such a way that I couldn’t put the book down. Five stars!

"When an eleven year old James Renner fell in love with Amy Mihaljevic, the missing girl seen on posters all over his neighborhood, it was the beginning of a lifelong obsession with true crime. That obsession leads James to a successful career as an investigative journalist. It also gave him PTSD. In 2011, James began researching the strange disappearance of Maura Murray, a UMass student who went missing after wrecking her car in rural New Hampshire in 2004. Over the course of his investigation, he uncovers numerous important and shocking new clues about what may have happened to Maura, but also finds himself in increasingly dangerous situations with little regard for his own well-being. As his quest to find Maura deepens, the case starts taking a toll on his personal life, which begins to spiral out of control. The result is an absorbing dual investigation of the complicated story of the All-American girl who went missing and James's own equally complicated true crime addiction. James Renner's True Crime Addict is the story of his spellbinding investigation of the missing person's case of Maura Murray, which has taken on a life of its own for armchair sleuths across the web. In the spirit of David Fincher's Zodiac, it is a fascinating look at a case that has eluded authorities and one man's obsessive quest for the answers"-- Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
