I’m Writing for Crimespree Magazine!

I’m Writing for Crimespree Magazine!

 

Crimespree Magazine, a mystery-themed periodical based in Milwaukee, has started publishing some of my reviews!




 

You can read my review of the true crime book The Serial Killer’s Apprentice here.

 

It opens:

 

Katherine Ramsland and Tracy Ullman’s true crime book The Serial Killer’s Apprentice: The True Story of How Houston’s Deadliest Murderer Turned a Kid Into a Killing Machine is a deeply discomforting reading experience. Given the subject matter, it would be almost impossible for it to be anything else.  It’s the story of Dean Corll, a multiple murderer and sex offender who not only preyed upon children, but who also groomed two teenagers to help him gather victims.

 

They’ve also published another piece by me titled “Five Things to Hope for in Only Murders in the Building Season Four

 

It begins:

 

Only Murders in the Building is a hit with viewers and critics.  The series centers around three very different people: Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin), the star of a crime television show that’s long been off the air; Oliver Putnam (Martin Short), a stage director with a reputation for crafting legendary flops; and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez), a young artist with a mysterious past.  Though the trio are an unlikely set of friends, they are brought together by a shared passion for true crime podcasts, and when one of the residents of the Arconia– their luxury New York City apartment building– dies, they don’t accept the police’s verdict of suicide, and they start their own investigation… and their own podcast.

 

 

Please take a look!
