Unveiling the Dark Secrets Behind John J Lennon’s The Tragedy of True Crime: A Must-Read Review
The Tragedy of True Crime is hard to pigeonhole. It’s a book about four convicts — one of them the author. It’s a book about prison and prison culture. It’s a book about the evolving nature of the prison system and the laws governing how people are tried, convicted, and sentenced. And it’s a book about the true crime genre and how it has made horrible crimes a form of entertainment. That it can be all these things while holding readers’ attention in a meticulously researched and beautifully written narrative is a tribute to Lennon’s skill.
