Summary
In this episode of The Consult, I talk with Jill, host of Murder Shelf Book Club Podcast, a true crime book club in podcast format. Jill has a passion for digging into true crime stories through books, and she brings a thoughtful, well-researched approach to every case she covers.
We talk about how she chooses the books for her show, how our understanding of crime has changed over time, and how those shifts are reflected in the stories we read. We also discuss how true crime books can educate us on a wide range of topics and why they can be such a powerful tool for learning. Jill shares some of her all-time favorite titles, and we talk about the stories that have stuck with us the most.
If you're a true crime reader, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
