Visit any luxury holiday destination this summer and you will find a significant percentage of the clientele gripped by tales of brutal murders, mysterious disappearances and complex criminal conspiracies. This is nothing to do with their idyllic surroundings, of course – it is simply because true-crime entertainment (TV shows, books, films and especially podcasts) has become one of the sick and twisted public’s foremost methods of relaxation.
In fact, you would imagine a resort that offered a choose-your-own true-crime adventure would be a huge hit. Bored of endless sun, sea and sand? Investigate a cold case while sipping bottomless margaritas! Run out of conversation at your seventh consecutive family dinner? Spend the meal consolidating the evidence you have unearthed during the day!
