#1: Why I'm Embarking on A Life of Crime The truth about true crime is that we're all drowning in it.

Then this is the substack for you: alifeofcrime.substack.com/p/1-why-im-e...

Do you have a simultaneous attraction and allergy to "true crime"? When you dip your toes in do you feel like they come away stained with blood and greed?
