Critics Review
“An intense, fascinating read for true crime lovers and newbies!” – Patton Oswalt
“An intense, fascinating read for true crime lovers and newbies!” - Patton Oswalt
“True crime is having a moment, and Jensen has helped make that happen… this book will find an easy audience in true crime-readers, “Murderinos” (My Favorite Murder cohost Karen Kilgariff writes the foreword), and anyone fascinated with Michelle McNamara, as well as wannabe detectives, who will be rewarded with Jensen’s guide to self-sleuthing.
” - Booklist
“In this engrossing memoir, journalist Jensen takes the reader on his quest to hunt down killers using internet sleuthing and crowdsourcing. For fans of true crime, this is a fascinating story” - Publishers Weekly
“Part memoir, part how-to guide, Chase Darkness With Me includes rules for responsible citizen detective work…Jensen has poured nearly all of his free time and energy over the past three years into crowd-sourcing criminal investigations. Some have yielded answers and arrests, like when his social media blitz flushed out a fugitive in the Nashville shooting of Teddy Grasset. Others are still in progress… Even when he accumulated $20,000 in debt from promoting his posts, he’s never given up on a case.” - Rolling Stone
“Jensen can’t stop. Though his crime solving work brings in money through a podcast, his book and consulting for media companies, the real payoff is catching a killer, which he describes as “like a drug.” At one point, he juggled 30 cases and rang up tens of thousands of dollars in credit-card debt doing his job. But Jensen has now played a part in clearing 10 homicides, and he hopes others will join the cause.” - New York Post
“Through his work, Jensen hopes not only to unearth witnesses and crack cases, but to shift the focus from “propping up these killers and fetishizing them.” Instead, he wants to inspire a new generation of true crime viewers and readers to become true crime’s superheroes.” - Bustle
