THE NO ALIBI ZONE
​
Where Investigating and Solving Crime is Serious Business
Lynn, hard at work.
Welcome to the
NO ALIBI ZONE
This is not a place to glorify murder. While I do craft diabolical murders as a mystery writer, I spend the bulk of my time figuring out how my characters will use their skill, intellect, and wit to catch the killers. And that’s mostly what we’ll explore here. What goes on behind the scenes when investigating the crime and murder.
Join us as we deep dive into things like the different personality traits of killers, investigation techniques, the different types of investigators, the variety of scientific tools available to law enforcement and the science behind them, how cadaver dogs and even psychics can be used to catch killers, and even why the public is so fascinated with the topic of murder. After all, the fascination with true crime is at an all time high.
​
Your avenues of exploration include:
• Let’s Talk About Murder (LTAM)—a monthly online newsletter interviewing the people who talk about, write about, or investigate murder, including law enforcement, medical examiners/technicians, crime beat journalists, authors, podcasters, and more.
• My Murder Brief – a monthly blog where I’ll research and discuss a myriad of topics, including murder investigation techniques, the body farm, cadaver dogs, types of weapons, how writers continually turn something horrible into something entertaining, and much more.
• The Murder Glossary – a list of legal and crime scene investigation definitions to keep you on course.
• Recommended books – True crime books and podcasts I can honestly recommend.
If you enjoy the ‘who dunnit’ and “how dunnit’ aspects of murder mysteries, I think you’ll enjoy what The No Alibi Zone has to offer. My goal is to enlighten and even educate so that when you read/watch/listen to mysteries or true crime, you’ll have a better understanding of the reality behind them. And maybe, we’ll all have a new appreciation for the real word work that goes into catching the people who prey upon others.
