TWO FACE: OBLIVION
What truth is there in the Second Confession?
In ANNIHILATION it was firmly established and reinforced that the scenario of the crime Chris Watts gave his interrogators during the Second Confession was a lie. The Watts children weren’t killed after Shan’ann, and they weren’t murdered at the well site. The murder was more calculated and cunning than Watts has let on. It was premeditated.
If it’s clear Watts was lying yet again what remains to sift through in the Second Confession? What’s left to unravel? Just these three questions:
What truth IS there in the Second Confession?
Where does this truth take us?
When did the premeditation start, and what precisely started it?
In OBLIVION Nick van der Leek does the difficult job of untying the knots and strands of veracity tied and tangled into all the lies. They’re there, it’s just a question of finding them, separating them, and figuring out what patterns they weave, and what the patterns mean.
With each successive book in the TWO FACE series, the analysis goes deeper and darker, the insights become sharper and more finely tuned. OBLIVION is a more complex, challenging and complicated analysis than ANNIHILATION, and all the preceding narratives in the series.
“It really is the most earth-shattering of the eight narratives, because what OBLIVION does is it finally completes the circle; the full circle means what is grasped is the full scale – the sheer dimensions – of the devastation of this tragedy.”

This book dives into the confession from March 2019. You really get a sense of what Coder believes, (and what he doesn’t believe) from the questions he asks. Excellent book.

He was lost in Oblivion
I found this book tedious at best it just seemed to ramble on a boring track that the author took to too many different arcs.

So I read this yesterday. I've always wanted to read something of his because I enjoy TSRS blog.I guess I am fascinated by the "fascination" of the Watts case.I enjoy his writing style,I just wish all the books were just one comprehensive book.
