Before Tinder, there was the Lonely Hearts Club (not just a Beatles song) where you could sign up to meet potential spouses. Sounds just as sketchy as all other modern dating apps. Raymond "Ray" Fernandez started preying on these women who were lonely and vulnerable, one being Martha Beck. What started out as a scam for money, turned into a two-year love affair that ended with four known dead women and confessions of at least twenty more. We cover The Lonely Hearts Killer, Ray Fernandez, and Marth Beck and the book Tortured With Love by J.T. Hunter

In our second Cozy Mystery, we cover James the Conasour Cat by Harriet Hahn. We were expecting one thing and got something entirely different.

In this episode, we change our podcast a little. We talk about John Wayne Gacy: Defending a Monster by Sam L. Amirante and Danny Broderick. Sam L. Amirante was one of the lawyers who defended Gacy. Now before you start on the whole WHO IS GOING TO DEFEND A MONSTER!? Don't worry we have that question to, but this book is an inside look at the legal work for those who are on the other side of good. Read the book, take a listen, or take a listen then read the book. This is an unedited episode, we go off the topic because this is such a deep topic. 

We miss you on the weeks we don't put out a true-crime book so we decided to start doing a quick little cozy murder mystery book!

In this episode, we cover the trainwreck of a book The Truth About Belle Gunness.  Just listen for yourself. We are sorry. Also, don't worry we will be doing Belle Gunness again with a much better book!
