Crimes, Real and Imagined: Books - Page 2

50% of this list is fiction where crime and/or criminals play a significant role, and the other 50% are true crime books or memoirs in which crime is a theme. These are all books that I've given above-average ratings. Some are true favorites, while others were just more entertaining or well-written than the usual from that genre.
