This review is from: The Rise of True Crime: 20th-Century Murder and American Popular Culture (Hardcover)
Jean Murley discusses the rise of "true crime" as a form of entertainment in a scholarly but most readable manner. At least I read it all, and my attention span lasts as long as a grape fizzie in warm water. From pulp magazines in the 30's to websites trading rumors circling around the latest "missing white woman of the week" a very nice survey. You HAVE to love a book with the phrase "incendiary ambulance-chasing pseudojournalist Nancy Grace..." I read it, I really enjoyed it, and I put it on my blog "Dull Tool Dim Bulb". Since I love the physical object known as "book" I hate to say it, but a good book to kindle.
