A Good Month for Murder: The Inside Story of a Homicide Squad

A Good Month for Murder: The Inside Story of a Homicide Squad by Del Quentin Wilber is a gripping true crime and criminal justice book that takes readers inside the intense daily work of homicide detectives. With rare access to the Prince George’s County homicide unit near Washington, D.C., Wilber follows a dedicated team as they face an overwhelming February in 2013: twelve homicides, three police-involved shootings, and the hunt for a brutal killer.

The book captures the pressure, exhaustion, skill, and dark humour of detectives who must respond when “a body falls.” At the centre is a high-profile case involving a seventeen-year-old honour student shot in her own home, pushing the squad to its limits.

Detailed, fast-paced, and deeply human, this is a strong choice for true crime readers, police procedural fans, and anyone interested in real homicide investigations.
