About this audiobook
When an eleven year old James Renner fell in love with Amy Mihaljevic, the missing girl seen on posters all over his neighborhood, it was the beginning of a lifelong obsession with true crime. That obsession leads James to a successful career as an investigative journalist. It also gave him PTSD. In 2011, James began researching the strange disappearance of Maura Murray, a UMass student who went missing after wrecking her car in rural New Hampshire in 2004. Over the course of his investigation, he uncovers numerous important and shocking new clues about what may have happened to Maura, but also finds himself in increasingly dangerous situations with little regard for his own well-being. As his quest to find Maura deepens, the case starts taking a toll on his personal life, which begins to spiral out of control. The result is an absorbing dual investigation of the complicated story of the All-American girl who went missing and James's own equally complicated true crime addiction.
James Renner's True Crime Addict is the story of his spellbinding investigation of the missing person's case of Maura Murray, which has taken on a life of its own for armchair sleuths across the web. In the spirit of David Fincher's Zodiac, it is a fascinating look at a case that has eluded authorities and one man's obsessive quest for the answers.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very informative and interesting this book flew by quickly. I recommend
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a unique book because it was part biography and part true crime investigation. The author worked hard to achieve a very nebulous speculative conclusion but he did the best he could. I hope someday the mystery of Ms. Murray is solved with a happy ending.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Mess of a book. Disorganized. This is a memoir at best about a guy with some serious issues. Ugh, with the internet I guess anybody can decide to get all up in someone else’s business. Trash.
