i read up through near the end of the second chapter. it wasn't bad, it was actually super interesting, but the writing made it seem like i was reading one long ass essay written for some college crime class. additionally, a lot of the information on the individual cases was very to the point and didn't go that in-depth. i feel like this is the type of book someone would start to get into true crime, and not when they are always a consistent consumer of these stories.
