A New Way to Support True Crimes Musings

As I continue to grow True Crime Musings, I’m excited to share a new way you can directly support my work — at no extra cost to you.

In addition to Patreon, I’ve partnered with Bookshop.org, an online bookstore dedicated to supporting independent bookstores. Every purchase you make there helps small bookstores thrive and compete with big-box retailers.

Why partner with Bookshop? Because as a true crime blogger, I rely on well-researched books to tell these stories and explore the systemic issues behind them. Now, I can recommend the books I personally use — and when you buy through my link, you’re helping me keep this work alive.

Here’s how it works:

1. In my posts, you’ll sometimes see a link to a book or product.

2. If you click that link and make a purchase, Bookshop.org will pay me a small commission.

3. You don’t pay anything extra; the price stays exactly the same for you.

4. Those commissions help me keep this blog running and allow me to create more case research and content for you.

This is one of the easiest ways to support my work while also discovering powerful, eye-opening books.

To get started, visit my storefront here, and you can view the books I recommend.

My Current Picks

• If cases like Jaliek Rainwalker and Lenoria Eleise Anne Jones resonate with you, I recommend To the End of June by Cris Beam. This paints an overview of the foster care system in the United States, along with the issues still affecting it today.
• If cases like Relisha Rudd resonate with you, I recommend Evicted by Matthew Desmond. The book follows eight families in Milwaukee as they struggle to keep a roof over their heads. It’s a personal encounter with poverty and homelessness in America, and it’ll challenge your beliefs about both.
• If cases like Anthonette Cayedito resonate with you, I recommend An Indigenous People’s History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. This book teaches the last 400 years of American history from the perspective of Native Americans. It provides background information on systemic issues that they face.

Thank you for every click, every share, and every word of encouragement. Because of you, the missing are remembered — and together, we’re working toward the justice they deserve.
