True crime series of books is not every reader's cup of tea, but they are sure entertaining. For readers who are completely new to this kind of genre, there are websites like Selectvu that offer a range of books that cater to every taste. The only way to get interested in this genre is by beginning to read it without any preconceived notions. Here are some popular crime-based books that every reader must read once.

- The Stranger Beside Me, by Ann Rule

Ann Rule, the queen of true crime, befriended Ted Bundy before anyone would have guessed that he kidnapped and murdered at least 30 women. The two were co-workers and friends at a crisis hotline. The Bundy atrocities are already pretty unbelievable, but hearing Rule talk about her friendship with the serial killer will definitely give readers goosebumps. It’s weird and real, like having a dream. Rule tries to tell the story in an unbiased manner, to separate herself from what she was set to report. But it’s impossible, and reading about her investment in the crime and her odd friendship with Bundy is quite interesting. Platforms like Selectvu offer such books to people who want to read something different and interesting.

- Columbine, by Dave Cullen

Everyone knows what happened at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999, but it takes the detailed version written by Dave Cullen, who remained in Aurora for ten years after the shooting, to really get a feeling of what happened that day. In one scene, students hide under desks as Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold storm through classrooms, looking for their next victim. Not until reading Cullen’s words were readers able to fathom what it would be like to be there—targeted and waiting for two violent, unstable, fearless boys to act. The writer takes the readers through the whole thing, splitting fact from fiction, offering insight into the tragedy.

- Helter Skelter, by Vincent Bugliosi

The horrific nature of this very twisted story, or the lively storytelling of Vincent Bugliosi, the prosecutor in the case, there is nothing this story cannot deliver. Bugliosi breathes so much life into the motives behind the characters and the complexities of the trial that readers will almost feel that they are in the story. This is truly an exquisite example of novel writing.
