Reading about a fictional murder in a mystery novel doesn't resonate the same way that exploring the details and evidence of a real-life homicide does. In true crime, we can't just close the book and convince ourselves that the evil is only on the page. There's something about the relatability of the victim—while we may not have known them personally, we know they're real, with family and friends and loved ones affected by every aspect of the process, from the crime to the trial to the verdict and after.
And, with the news of the overturned conviction of Brendan Dassey and the new trial for Adnan Syed, the true crime phenomenon continues to grow. We know our readers love their true crime, so we wanted to know what YOU thought was the best true crime series that has aired recently.
