In the shadowy world of online dating, a simple swipe right can lead to unimaginable horror. In The Tinder Murders: Swiping Right to Death: True Stories of Romance Turned Fatal on Tinder, retired police detective Mike Diamond draws on over three decades of homicide investigations to uncover the chilling true crimes facilitated by the world's most popular dating app. From the backpacker's nightmare in Auckland, where British tourist Grace Millane's Tinder date ended in strangulation and a shallow grave, to the dismembered remains of Nebraska clerk Sydney Loofe scattered across rural fields after a fateful match, Diamond dissects a series of brutal murders that expose the app's dark underbelly. With unflinching detail, Diamond explores infamous cases like the balcony fall of Warriena Wright in Australia, the acid bath dissolution of Francia Ruth Ibarra in Mexico, and the serial strangulations linked to Danueal Drayton in New York. Through exclusive insights from case files, survivor interviews, and psychological analyses, he reveals patterns of predation-how charming profiles mask psychopaths, narcissists, and thrill-seekers who exploit vulnerability for deadly ends. But this isn't just a catalog of terror; it's a veteran detective's urgent warning, packed with practical advice on spotting red flags, staying safe in the digital dating game, and advocating for systemic change. Gripping, exhaustive, and profoundly cautionary, Swiping Right to Death is a must-read for true crime enthusiasts, online daters, and anyone navigating the perils of modern connection. In an era where love is just a tap away, Diamond reminds us: the next match could be your last.
