Skip Hollandsworth's She Kills: The Murderous Socialite, the Cross-Dressing Bank Robber, and Other True Crime Tales
Back when Longform and Longreads were websites on the ol' internet, I read a lot of Hollandsworth's essays in Texas Monthly, so even though I rarely read non-fiction books, I wanted to check out his collection. It's good! I read a couple a day so it wouldn't get overwhelming (both in terms of reading a bunch of essays in a row and the theme of the thing, mostly desperate women). I had read a couple of these before, but each essay has a little postscript update, which is nice. I don't really have anything in particular to say about this--I guess I recommend it to ppl who like thoughtful writing about true crime. A-.
