Examining murder from an insider’s perspective, Matt Murphy—a former senior deputy district attorney and current ABC News legal analyst—discusses cases from his career, how they strained his personal life, and how he found peace seeking justice for victims and their families.
Part taxonomy of murder, part prosecutor’s handbook, and part personal memoir, The Book of Murder goes through a dozen cases and his recollections of his 26 years in the Orange County DA’s office (17 in the Homicide Unit). Refreshingly honest about the toll such work takes on one’s private life, Murphy weaves his personal narrative throughout his casework in a way that humanizes the people entrusted with the duty of seeking justice on behalf of the public. As he does so, he lays bare the decision-making a prosecutor goes through in building a case to ensure justice is met while telling captivating tale after captivating tale of the world’s worst crime.
See how a prosecutor looks at—and lives with—the very worst crime. The insider’s perspective that Murphy gives on the notorious cases of Skylar Deleon, Rodney Alcala, “Dirty John” Meehan, and many others is a vital listen for true-crime fans everywhere.

A real “page-turner” (or, if in audible version, an “all-nighter”)!
You will hate for it to end, yet, at the same time, you will be sort of glad, because, each case is so carefully described, in every angle of the murder, and the murderer, that your heart couldn’t take much more.!
I’m thankful that you WON every case, but LOST in “love,” Matt!
But … “time” isn’t over YET!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!

The book of murder , in my opinion, has instantly clawed its way through an oversaturated market and now sits a top the true crime memoir annuls next to “Helter skelter“ by Vince Bugliosi.
And with that, and on behalf of all other readers, I’ll say keep them coming! If you have the time and ambition you are sitting on a franchise of incredible books and a legacy of Douglas/Mindhunter proportions!
Keep them coming.

I could not stop listening to those, and as a consequence, my house is now absolutely spotless.
Also, after listening to his story, with his self deprecating wit and commitment to justice, I realized that I really would like to marry Mr. Murphy.
So if you know him, kindly pass that along.🙏🚗🌹⛄️
Witty, Utterly absorbing and unputdownable .
