About this book

Does your favourite person fall asleep to murder podcasts and somehow find serial killer documentaries 'relaxing'? Do they plan holidays around visiting infamous crime scenes and get genuinely excited explaining the difference between strangulation and suffocation at dinner parties?

This collection of 100 hilarious jokes perfectly captures the wonderfully obsessive world of true crime enthusiasts. From those 2 AM Reddit deep-dives into cold cases (convinced they'll crack the case everyone else missed) to maintaining colour-coded spreadsheets of which podcasters 'actually do their research' – these jokes celebrate every quirky habit that makes murderinos so brilliantly unique.

Inside you'll find jokes about podcast addiction and premium subscription collections, the eternal struggle of explaining why your browser history looks like a serial killer's research notes, and the art of seamlessly transitioning from weekend brunch plans to discussing forensic evidence. Plus plenty of laughs about that sacred SSDGM lifestyle and why 'the husband definitely did it' before you've even heard the case details.

Perfect for birthdays, Christmas, Secret Santa, or any occasion when you want to celebrate someone's beautifully dark sense of humour. Whether they're team My Favourite Murder or Serial obsessives, these jokes will have them laughing between podcast episodes.

Who this book is for

This book is perfect for you if your earbuds are permanently attached to your head, cycling through every true crime podcast whilst explaining to colleagues why the investigation into the Zodiac Killer was botched from day one. You've got a dedicated notebook filled with theories about cold cases, and your bookshelf groans under the weight of true crime tomes bristling with post-it notes marking your favourite grisly details. When dinner party conversation turns to weekend plans, you seamlessly pivot to discussing the forensic timeline of a 1970s murder case, leaving guests both horrified and oddly fascinated. If you're shopping for that special someone who plans their holidays around visiting notorious crime scenes and maintains colour-coded spreadsheets tracking which cases they've covered across seventeen different podcasts, this is the gift that says 'I love your macabre obsession.' You know they're the type to get genuinely excited about discussing lividity patterns over Sunday roast, and you've learned to accept that 'SSDGM' has become their standard text sign-off. This book lovingly pokes fun at their habit of shouting 'the husband did it!' within the first five minutes of any documentary. Perhaps you're the type who finds yourself deep in Reddit rabbit holes at 2 AM, convinced you've spotted the crucial detail that's eluded investigators for decades. You have strong opinions about which podcasters actually do their research properly, and you're not afraid to defend your favourites with the passion of a football supporter. If you can laugh at your own tendency to 'go full murderino' over every new case whilst still maintaining your impressive collection of forensic knowledge, this book will have you chuckling in recognition.

Questions about this book

These jokes perfectly capture the quirky humour of the true crime community, from poking fun at falling asleep to murder podcasts to joking about suspicious browser histories. You'll find gags about always suspecting the husband did it, going full murderino over cases, and the relatable struggle of explaining why you know so much about different types of poison. The humour is cheeky and self-aware, celebrating the wonderfully weird obsessions that make true crime buffs who they are.
Absolutely perfect for birthdays, Christmas, or any occasion when you want to surprise your favourite murderino. Whether it's for that mate who greets everyone with 'SSDGM' or someone who can't resist analysing every criminal's MO, this book will have them laughing whilst feeling utterly understood. It's an ideal gift for true crime podcast listeners, documentary bingers, and anyone whose idea of light bedtime reading involves serial killers.
Whilst many jokes will resonate deeply with seasoned murderinos who know their jargon inside out, most of the humour is accessible to anyone with even a casual interest in true crime. You'll definitely appreciate more of the insider references if you're familiar with community truths like falling asleep to murder podcasts or automatically assuming 'the husband did it'. However, the jokes are crafted to be funny whether you're new to true crime or someone who could probably solve cases professionally by now.
Unlike generic joke books, this collection is laser-focused on the very specific and wonderfully bizarre world of true crime enthusiasts. These jokes celebrate the community's unique quirks, from using 'SSDGM' as a daily greeting to casually discussing criminal MOs over coffee. You won't find these jokes anywhere else because they're written by someone who truly understands what it means to go full murderino and have a browser history that would definitely raise eyebrows.
