"A bold and candid memoir from a seasoned true crime insider, Killer Story is essential reading for aspiring journalists and true crime enthusiasts alike." --Amanda M. Fairbanks, author of The Lost Boys of Montauk and award-winning journalist "From the blood-stained bedrooms to the tension-filled courtrooms to ego-driven newsrooms, Claire St. Amant weaves a fascinating tale of her journey behind the scenes at one of the world's highest profile true crime broadcasts. Fans of 48 Hours , Dateline , 20/20 , or any number of other popular shows and podcasts will absolutely luxuriate in the details and discoveries she makes along the way." --Michael J. Mooney, New York Times bestselling author of The Life and Legend of Chris Kyle "Whenever I would hear about a mysterious murder that had just taken place in Texas, my first thought was always, 'I wonder if Claire is already on the story.' And yes, there she was, hanging out in the offices of the attorneys who were involved in the case, arranging interviews with witnesses, and usually getting an exclusive interview with the murder suspect .

Reading her memoir made me, once again, shake my head in admiration." --Skip Hollandsworth, New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Assassin and executive editor of Texas Monthly "Claire St. Amant deftly takes readers through the often unbelievable, heart-pounding moments of chasing a competitive true crime story. But just as important as relaying the boots-on-the-ground experiences, with both humility and humanity, Claire gives even deeper insight into the personal challenge of covering these kinds of traumatic cases, the choices journalists--especially women--are often forced to make in order to be considered successful." --Maureen Maher, award-winning investigative journalist and former 48 Hours correspondent.
