Synopsis
Winner: International Impact Book Award 2026 Great Northwest Book Festival 2026 Great Southeast Book Festival
True Crime & Consequences examines how the rise of true crime media is affecting real-world investigations. Drawing on nearly thirty years of experience as a homicide detective and law enforcement educator, David Lyons—co-host of the Murder Police Podcast—offers an insider’s perspective on the intersection of podcasts, social media feeds, and amateur sleuthing with professional investigative work.
He shares lessons learned from incidents in which armchair detectives stalled progress, as well as examples where crowdsourced tips led to breakthroughs. Throughout, he emphasizes the importance of centering victims and survivors in any discussion about true crime.
Readers will find practical guidance on how everyday citizens can engage ethically and legally, alongside reflections on best practices for content creators who cover crime stories. With clear, experience-based analysis, True Crime & Consequences offers a balanced look at how true crime’s popularity can reshape the pursuit of justice—sometimes for the better, and sometimes not.
