Two disputes cross into real-world violence

This volume pairs two true-crime accounts in which conflict grows through different kinds of proximity. In “Murder Thy Neighbor,” a renovation dispute between Ann Hoover and Roy Kirk leads to a court case and violent retaliation. “Murder IRL” turns to social media: Jenelle Potter’s unreturned feelings for Billy escalate into an online feud that moves offline. Together, the accounts examine how neighborhood tensions and online conflict can become entangled with real-world violence, while keeping each case distinct in its setting and circumstances.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in true-crime accounts of neighbor disputes and retaliation.
  • Readers interested in cases involving social media conflict and violence.

Book overview

As seen on ID, these two true-crime thrillers follow a neighbors' quarrel that turns violent and cyber-bullying that explodes in a double murder.

Murder Thy Neighbor: Ann Hoover is a nice woman but she's come to hate her neighbor. Roy Kirk moved in next door with plans to renovate. But as the weeks go by, his DIY construction turns to shambles. When Ann takes him to court, Kirk's retaliation will be shockingly gruesome (with Andrew Bourelle).

Murder IRL: Jenelle Potter has always been better at connecting with people through social media. With overprotective parents, she hasn't had very many options to meet people, until she links up with Billy. But her feelings for Billy are unreciprocated, causing Jenelle to start a virtual war--a war that enters the real world (with Max DiLallo).
