I'm your host, Chelsea Weber-Smith.

For most of my post adolescent life, I've periodically sunk into what I've come to think of as a crime funk.

I was the kind of gloomy child who filched her mother's people magazines to read not about the celebrities, but about the killers and kidnappers and suspicious overdoses.

As I got older, my appetite for murder stories seemed to depend on how much turbulence was in my own life.

The more sad or lost or angry I felt, the more I craved crime.

I was a teenager storming with hormones when I pulled shelter-skelter off my parents' shelf and gave myself a man-to-family nightmares.

And a little older and a lot more depressed when I set out to read every single man-to-girl memoir.

When I learned that the Columbine Killer's journals were online, I read those too.

Today we're talking about true crime with Rachel Monroe, author of the book Savage Appetites, four true stories of women, crime, and obsession.

This book was so influential for this episode. It was just such an enjoyable and fascinating and just so entertaining at the same time.

And so we wanted to have Rachel on to kind of compliment some of the things we've been talking about.

So thanks so much, Rachel, for coming on.

Thank you so much for having me. I'm really excited.
