Secrets and lies #7 - My secret obsession.

It’s embarrassing, but I’m hooked on true crime. Dateline, documentaries, dozens of podcasts. (Did Adnan do it? I don’t think he did). I blame my grandmother, who kept stacks of cheesy, murdery detective magazines that I poured through whenever we would visit. My daughter tweeted she only listens to podcasts about murder. It may be genetic.

  3. Interesting. I avoid true crime stories.
