A friend lent this to me. Just starting it (my reading list goes exclusively by vibes), and have you ever listened to a true crime podcast or Revisionist History and thought, Why don’t people write novels like that?
Well, my friends. This is that.
And it’s not a novel. But this nonfiction reads as engrossing as crime thriller.

Exceptional characterization for any kind of writing, not to mention this is mainly real people or composites.
Overall exceptional writing!
My only complaint: it takes 168 pages (of 390) to find out why this book exists. I think to tease the crime—without saying victim or accused—or hint at someone’s life being cut short (“Two months before __ died,” etc), would signpost while maintaining intrigue.
