My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark

I'm listening to this book and I can't put it down. It's called A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James.

It takes place in Jamaica in the 70s. So all this crazy turmoil is going on. And it's written from a bunch of perspectives, including like a ghost and like Bob Marley and people who are trying to kill Bob Marley and like in the CIA maybe and all this like the stuff that I didn't know about because there's a lot of factual stuff in it.

And then we're really excited to tell you guys that Danielle Henderson, the host of I Saw What You Did, wrote a memoir and it's available now for preorder. It's called The Ugly Cry. And you can go to the Penguin Random House website and search for The Ugly Cry to preorder.

Speaking of books, Paul Holes has a book coming out. It's called Unmasked My Life Solving America's Cold Cases.

I read this book a couple months ago and it is so good. Paul Holes doesn't just talk about all of the cases that he's worked on in his illustrious career, but his personal life and how his job has affected his life and his marriage and his kids.

And I was blown away at how good this book is. It's amazing.

And so now for the most part it's done and you guys were the first ones to announce it.

It's available for pre-order right now.

I thought going into writing the book, all people wanted to hear about was the, you know, the inside scoop of Golden State Killer. And then they really said, no, people want to get to know who you are as well as, you know, your career.

So in many ways, this is my memoir.

It's called Unmasked, My Life Solving America's Cold Cases.

Paul Holes is coming out with a book, his first like biographical book called Unmasked, My Life Solving America's Cold Cases.

Maybe a nice doggy story would be okay?

Except Cujo, I re-skimmed through Cujo.

Yes, it is a really cool, tense story, but there's a whole ugly part of the middle, which makes me wonder a little bit about what Stephen King was going through at the time where the wife is having a really gross affair with this failed hack writer who doesn't even come into their house and like jerk off on their bed.

Didn't Stephen King write Cujo when he was blacked out?

Like he doesn't remember writing it.

He wrote all of Cujo blackout drunk, which is the most amazing.

I'll make up what this book is about and I'll trick an adult and they'll believe me.

You can't write a book report on Silas Marner if you don't read Silas Marner.

I'll make up what this book is about and I'll trick an adult and they'll believe me.

So they kind of made it and it's based on a book by an author named hold on front that simply named simply named and I quote John Keel.

He wrote the book The Mothman Prophecies in 1975 and then they made this movie in 22 and Richard Gere was like I'm on board Richard Gere's like this is my jam.

And he is basically considered to be the foremost authority on these Mothman stories.

He wrote the book The Mothman Prophecies in 1975 and then they made this movie in 2012.

And Richard Gere is like, I'm on board. Richard Gere's like, this is my jam. Yeah, I'm going to, this is my vehicle.

And that tells the story of Mark Hoffman, but specifically from the view of him pretending to have discovered poems by Emily Dickinson and the public library in Amherst, Massachusetts, which is where she was from, collects money to buy these heretofore unpublished lost Emily Dickinson poems that were fake.

Deborah Bloom, who wrote The Poisoner's Handbook, was mentioned while talking about arsenic poisoning.

And to hear Deborah Bloom of The Poisoner's Handbook talk about arsenic, which is quote her favorite poisoning, is a joy.

So aside from The Radium Girls by Kate Moore, there's two books that I fucking adore that have some of this info and if you're into this shit, more. So The Poisoner's Handbook is a really incredible book by Deborah Blum...

Aside from the stuff I was reading before when I tried this, you know, last year, beginning of this year, This Naked Mind by Annie Grace, I'm listening to.

I am falling asleep listening to the book that I recommended. Like I've listened to it three or four times at this point. It's This Naked Life by Annie Grace. I'll fucking say it again. It has changed everything for me.

I downloaded her book called This Naked Mind.

That's her like brand, This Naked Mind and it's been eye-opening.

It's really helpful.

It's this big old book. It's by Tom O'Neill who's this incredible investigative journalist. And he spent 20 years researching this topic.

And like is basically like the Helter Skelter theory is fucking bullshit.

And maybe was Charles Manson, did the FBI put him up to this, to the murder?

And it's an incredible book. I highly recommend it.

I highly recommend reading this book, "Chaos" if you wanna know more about,

And I would also recommend the book that came out not too long ago called Chaos by Tom O'Neill, which is one of the most interesting Manson-related pieces of work I've ever read.

This is like deep dive CIA, also the Beach Boys, fucking Terry Melcher, deep dive conspiracy theory Manson stuff.

So I highly recommend the book Chaos.

He looked like an obscene phone call.

So he's like what he's like I picture like shoulders up around the ears kind of like wringing his hands like greasy hair. Yeah big thick glasses oh man.

He looked like an obscene phone call.

some thought that J. Smith the principal looked like an obscene phone call.

crime writer, Joseph Wamba wrote a book about the whole case called Echoes in the Darkness

There's a great book called The Dance of Anger. Not to be totally weird. No, we need a foot. This is a thing.

Well, this is a book I read and it's because it's this amazing breakdown of how people who are angry or use anger, what they're actually doing.

She's like, I'll go down and watch you guys put on the lottery by Shirley Jackson. No problem. I'd love to see.

She was known to pop into our school performances on occasion.

You might find a new title from an old favorite like David Gran who wrote killers of the flower moon and his new book, the wager, a tale of shipwreck, mutiny and murder or listen to a classic novel for the first time like George Orwell's 1984 narrated by Andrew Garfield, Cynthia Erivo and Tom Hardy.

They talk about George Orwell's 1984.

And then there's an author named Jason Lucky Morrow, who does an amazing website called HistoricalCrimedetective.com. And he wrote a book about this case called Deadly Hero. The high society murder that created hysteria in the heartland.

So this is a creator on TikTok simply named Hillary with one L and Hillary is talking about a book that she read by friend of the network, Jamie Loftus.

I'm pretty sure Jamie Loftus has been on I said no gifts.

I've known about her for a long time from Twitter and her being a writer and stuff. And she came out with a book called Raw Dog and it's about hot dogs, but it's also about a bunch of other stuff.

No, it's a nonfiction.

And the reason that this creator was making a TikTok is because Jamie Loftus tells the story about how Auntie Anne's pretzels was created and it is very surprising and very empowering.

And so if there's a person I don't know on TikTok telling me about the book written by a person I kind of have heard of, I'm going to get in the middle and try to get some credit there.

Yeah. So read Raw Dog by Jamie Loftus.

Yeah, let's all read it together.

And then Karen mentioned the book Raw Dog, The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs on last week's episode and this week the book's author Jamie Loftus.

World War Z did that really well too.

Did you read World War Z? That was really good in that way too.

The book's great.
