In A Gorgeous Excitement, Cynthia Weiner sets a young character against the tense summer of “The Preppy Murder” in 1986 New York City. In The Tip Line, Vanessa Cuti spins a story from the Gilgo Beach Murders. Investigative journalist Kristen Thorne delves into both tales, digging up the grisly details these writers learned as they researched the true stories behind their books.
