Crime fiction can offer an author escape from reality and have great therapeutic value. Conversely, true crime writing is a cold, hard plunge into someone else's reality where you have little or no control over the story. There is no escapism for the true crime writer sifting through the memories of a bereaved mother or listening to a murderer in gory detail, yet that's what you're expected to deliver.
Jax Miller, American crime novelist, August 17, 2020
