True Crime Story

True Crime Story is not a true crime story but reads as a true crime story. The novel unfolds in an interview format with emails interspersed between. The interviewees are friends and family of a missing college student. All are unreliable and most unlikeable. The emails are between the interviewer and author Joseph Knox who inserts himself in the story. I will say this, it kept my interest throughout, although it was slow going at times. There were a few twists and turns that I didn't see coming, but I don't know how anyone could. They kinda came out thin air with not a clue to be found to even steer one in that direction. Just my take... The ending was rather abrupt and I have questions! Especially about a certain someone and their many maladies.

Terrific review Jan! I like to be surprised by a twist. But not when they come out of thin air! Hope your next read delivers all the stars!

This reminds me of a History by Fear... a fictional "true crime" approach. I did not like it lol. This doesn't sound like it's for me either. Great review Jan 💖
Great review! I don't know whether or not you've read Chasing the Boogeyman but that is a great example of a fiction book that reads like true crime.
