Sarah Weinman’s non-fiction books focus on real criminal cases and the people affected by them. Her work combines investigative reporting with literary analysis to tell stories that have been overlooked or misunderstood.
The Real Lolita (2018) traces the connection between the kidnapping of eleven-year-old Sally Horner in 1948 and Vladimir Nabokov’s famous novel. Scoundrel (2023) examines another true crime case through Weinman’s signature mix of deep research and readable prose. Without Consent (2025) continues her focus on crimes against vulnerable people. All three books reflect Weinman’s background as a crime fiction expert and her interest in cases where the full story has not been told.
