3.1.2025 - Killer Story

Killer Story by Claire St. Amant 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Brilliance Publishing/Brilliance Audio for gifting me an audio ARC of this memoir/true crime story, written and narrated by Claire St. Amant.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars rounded up!

Claire spent almost a decade in network television covering the biggest true crime stories for 48 Hours and 60 Minutes.  In this book, she details how she got there, the cases she covered, and the toll it took on her psyche.  

This was a fascinating look behind the curtain of all those true crime stories I have watched for decades.  Besides going over the cases, it was fascinating to see how these shows develop and get produced, and the race against the clock to beat the competition.  The story of how she almost got indicted for a felony was unbelievable as well.   I appreciated that the author narrated her story, feeling that it adds a more personal touch.  If you're a true crime junkie, this book is for you.
