Eliza Hawthorne

Historical True Crime

Eliza Hawthorne writes historical true crime that takes the case file seriously. The Shadows of the Past series revisits cold cases, Gilded Age mysteries, and forgotten American crimes using newspaper archives, court records, and period sources, then rebuilds them as the kind of read you finish in two sittings.

For readers of Erik Larson, Sarah Weinman, Kate Winkler Dawson, and Karen Kilgariff.
