I'm completely obsessed with true crime stories too! 
But what I think sets them apart is when authors start digging deeper into the psychology behind the crimes. Like, why did this person do what they did? Is it a product of their upbringing or environment? You know, some books just skim the surface and tell you the 'whodunit' part, but not these ones... they give you the whole story

it's like we've become obsessed with being morbidly curious about other people's worst moments... I mean, don't get me wrong, it can be fascinating to learn about systemic injustices and how they're addressed, but does we really need 10 different podcasts and documentaries covering the same cases? And what's up with the obsession over Truman Capote's writing style? Like, yeah, he was good, but not that interesting...

true crime stories can be wild but they also make u think about the world in a different way 
like how does the system fail ppl? or how do we prevent something like that from happening again? it's not just about being nosy, it's about seeking justice and i love how these authors aren't afraid to dive into the darker side of human nature

Like, I know some people might think it's just about sensationalized crimes, but really it's about giving voice to victims and shining a light on systemic injustices that need to be addressed. 
And I love how authors like Truman Capote & David Grann can weave these complex tales that are not only captivating but also super informative? I mean, who doesn't want to learn more about human psychology and the devastating consequences of crime? I mean come on, another list of "must-read" books? How original. Can't we just get some decent reporting instead of cherry-picked examples? The whole thing feels like a marketing push. And what's with the romanticized portrayal of police investigations and cold cases? It's not all thrilling page-turners, trust me.
