Both of us first got interested in true crime not through podcasts but through books — and one of the best true crime writers working today is Gregg Olsen. He has produced many terrific titles. The first of his books that Kevin read was STARVATION HEIGHTS, an incredible true story of medical murder that happened back in 1911. We recently got a chance to talk with Gregg about his career, how he researches his books and his newest title: AMERICAN MOTHER, which tells the true story of a troubled family who is at the heart of a cyanide murder case. You can find it at Barnes and Noble, Amazon or wherever you buy books.Follow the Murder Sheet on social media:FacebookTwitterInstagramAnd send tips to murdersheet@gmail.com.SPONSORSo we’re thrilled about our next sponsor.

Tanasi’s robust line of products is the result of those findings. This CBD+CBDa is 2X better than CBD alone not to mention better than over the counter ibuprofen, acetaminophen and aspirin.
