Book Club Selection: How to Survive a Murder Investigation by Catherine Townsend (2026)
When a loved one is murdered, the immediate trauma is compounded by a terrifying, opaque legal machine. In How to Survive a Murder Investigation, private investigator and true-crime expert Catherine Townsend pulls back the curtain on the harsh realities victims' families face in the aftermath of a violent crime. Drawing on decades of field experience, high-profile case studies, and personal tragedy, Townsend delivers both a sharp critique of the criminal justice system and an indispensable, step-by-step roadmap for navigating cold cases, police bureaucracy, private investigators, and media scrutiny.
True Crime Book Club meets the first Saturday every other month. Copies of each selection may be available for checkout at the library.
