this is a place for people to recommend the best true crime books youve read recently. im a fan of it, my macabre interest is always wanting more though. so i will share what i find and hopefully you will do the same

right, first off is a book im reading now called pierrepont: a family of executioners. its about the pierrepont family and their vocation, official executioners for the british empire. it is a fascinating read, for the true crime inclined almost every paragraph is a new tale of true horror about a person a pierrepont will soon hang. im talking thousands of criminals here. really well done, concise and to the point. also there is a movie to go along with it which focuses on the youngest of the pierrepont family, albert. it was really great, i cant recommend it enough, even if you dont get around to reading a book about him or the one im reading now. its a hell of a tale.

I only read non-fiction books. Maybe I do not belong in this group!? Thanks.

True crime is non fiction, if that helps to make your mind up.
