"Running through Popular Crime is an exploration of the enduring popularity of true crime. James' thought-provoking meditations elevate his book far above any routine recitation of facts."--"The Seattle Times"
"[An] insightfully unorthodox history of famous murders."--"New York" magazine
"The book is a success, thoughtful and thought provoking. It is also gruesome, ghoulish, and appalling--and utterly fascinating."--"The Daily Beast"
"Great, cozy bedtime reading."--Gillian Flynn, author of "Gone Girl"
"James turns out to be not just the most important writer/thinker on baseball of our generation but also completely unexpectedly to have read more books in the true crime genre than maybe anyone else alive. In "Popular Crime" he works his way though every major true crime story of the last 200 years from Lizzie Borden to JonBenet Ramsey making (as one would expect) all kinds of brilliant, wildly entertaining and occasionally completely nutty Jamesian observations." Malcolm Gladwell
