Couples That Kill

Tonight, my special guest is internationally acclaimed author and editor Mitzi Szereto, here to talk about her latest true crime anthology, The Best New True Crime Stories: Partners in Crime. This chilling collection dives into the dark side of romance, spotlighting real-life couples whose relationships were built on murder, mayhem, and lawless love.

From notorious names like Bonnie and Clyde to lesser-known but equally deadly duos, Mitzi and her contributors—award-winning crime writers, journalists, and criminal justice experts—explore what draws dangerous partners together and what ultimately tears them apart. With cases spanning the globe, this anthology is a must-read for any true crime aficionado who knows that when love turns lethal, the story is never simple—and never dull.
