Eight top true crime reads

Thomas Harding's newest book is Blood on the Page.

One of his eight favorite true crime books, as shared at the Waterstones blog:

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt

More than anything, a book about character and location. A personal journey into the gothic South, and an investigation of a community gone sour. So beautifully described, you can almost feel the humid Savannah night air rising from the pages.
