True Crime Addict: How I Lost Myself in the Mysterious Disappearance of Maura Murray is a nonfiction true crime thriller by American author and investigative journalist James Renner. The book was published by Thomas Dunne Books in March 2016.

After losing his job at an alternative weekly newspaper, Renner becomes consumed by the puzzling disappearance of 21-year-old UMass student Maura Murray. Murray, a West Point cadet, transferred to UMass to pursue nursing shortly before her disappearance.

Although he attempts to speak with Murray's friends and family to gather information for the book, he is met with rejection. Confused as to why a family would not want Maura's disappearance to receive as much attention as possible, he begins to look into the Murray family, as well.
