YOUR SUPPORT HELPS US TO TELL THE STORY From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating


the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we


know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending


journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to


lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it. YOUR SUPPORT MAKES ALL THE


DIFFERENCE.Read more The true crime wave shows no sign of stopping, with the recent success of true crime documentaries like _Don’t F**k with Cats_, _Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron


Hernandez_, and _McMillion$_. Even America’s most famous reality star wants in on the action. The film _Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project_, released in April 2020, will see its star


investigate miscarriages of justice. New true crime podcasts crop up daily as well, chasing the success of _Serial_, _My Favourite Murder_ or _Crime Junkies_ by focusing on shocking or


unusual offenders. Different newcomers hold different areas of interest: forensics, psychology, activism. Your average listener has an ever expanding universe of intrigue and mystery at


their fingertips. The genre often faces accusations of sensationalism. You could argue that it’s cynical to profit from human suffering, or that it encourages worship of “evil genius” serial


killers at the expense of their victims. The upcoming Whitechapel mural, designed to honour the five women murdered by Jack the Ripper, is one example of historians finding it necessary to


turn the tide of murderer fans. Books, however, have the space to explore enthralling topics with context for the crimes and empathy towards the victims, if they’re done right. The ones


we’ve listed here are gripping, thoroughly researched, and critically acclaimed. If you want to explore the world of written crime journalism, click through to the gallery. These books will


prove to fans and newcomers alike that sometimes the truth is more sinister than fiction. CLICK THROUGH THE GALLERY TO SEE OUR PICKS:
