Investigative journalist Becky Cooper’s true-crime debut, WE KEEP THE DEAD CLOSE, launched with a splash last month, becoming an Indie Bestseller in its first week of sale. Excerpts were featured on pub day in Crime Reads, Town & Country and AARP.com, while Vogue.com, Salon, Shondaland, and The Daily Beast all published interviews with Cooper. The book also received glowing reviews from The Wall Street Journal, Air Mail Weekly, and the Washington Post, and the New Yorker featured the book in its “Briefly Noted” section in its December 7 issue. Redbook, Marie Claire, and Fresh Air’s Maureen Corrigan named it a “Best Book of 2020,” and Cooper has held virtual events in conversation with Ron Chernow, Patrick Radden Keefe, Emma Copley Eisenberg, and Paige Williams, among others, to discuss the decade of research that went into her account of Jane Britton’s murder. Grand Central Publishing published the book on November 10, 2020.
