Welcome to Litsy!

This book made me sad because I so wanted to like it (I am a huge fan of the podcast). And, for parts, I did. I enjoyed how they stayed true to their voice. The book genuinely had some funny parts to it. I also enjoyed how informative the book while being interspersed with real life examples. But, I felt like it was a little jumbled and didn‘t have a straightforward narrative.
For this reason I have to give this book:
⭐️⭐️⭐️(3/5)

I really enjoyed listening to this. Is that weird? Lol. #teamslaughter @Clwojick

On the podcast, I enjoy Suruthi and Hannah's breakdowns of behaviors and environmental factors that created the perfect crime/murder storm. The book was all of that and more. When it comes to true crime, I'm always curious about the why part of the crime. I like how they took apart cases each chapter to provide an example for each topic.

I wish I had time for podcasts! If I did, these two entertaining British women, obsessed with true crime, would be at the top of my list! As it stands though, I only listen to audiobooks because books are life 🤷🏼‍♀️
This one is narrated by the two hosts of the podcast Redhanded. They discuss crimes, how they‘re covered by media, and society‘s interest in cases. Feminist and racial injustice content as related to murders. A total pick for me.

This book was written by two women from the UK who have a true crime podcast. I haven‘t listened to the podcast at all, but this book is pretty good. The first chapter is all about the neurological and physiological roots of murder and is quite informative. The rest of the book deals with various killers and the circumstances of their crimes. It‘s a quick read and well-written so if true crime is your thing, you‘ll like it.

Often with true crime books, shows, or films, the focus lies mainly on the stories of who was involved and what happened, but they don‘t always get to the why.

In RedHanded by Suruthi Bala and Hannah Maguire, these two true crime podcasters dove into the science and psychology behind what can make someone a killer.

I am SO excited to read this! I pre-ordered my copy the minute I heard my favorite podcasters were releasing a book! It‘s been months of waiting! Now Suruthi and Hannah can help me pass the time at The Kid‘s practice!! #Redhanded #TrueCrime #PodcastJunkie
