Another change, the pair say, has been the growth of female-friendly forms of true crime media available. Though historically the genre was associated with the exploitation and sexualisation of women, according to Harrison “that’s not the case anymore”. She explains: “There are so many brilliant true crime podcasts and books being created by women that I think women feel a lot more catered for. There has been a real shift, and women are reclaiming the narrative.”

Hardy and Harrison point to examples of female-led true crime podcasts – All Killa and No Filla, from comedians Rachel Fairburn and Kiri Pritchard, and They Walk Among Us, which centres on obscure crimes and is created by husband and wife team Rosie and Benjamin. In terms of contemporary true crime books from female authors, Harrison recommends I’ll be Gone in the Dark (Faber & Faber), a mesmerising account of author Michelle McNamara’s obsessive search for the Golden State Killer, and The Fact of a Body by Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich (Macmillan), a mix of raw memoir and gripping murder investigation.

Can the crime genre ever be feminist?
