Oh, thank God, there is a character with a rational brain who can parse out the difference between "murder" and "kill."

(I get that some of the tension here is Leigh's baggage and guilt, but... she's a lawyer!)

I can't get over Leigh being a grown ass attorney who continues to misuse the word "murder." What Leigh did was not murder. Manslaughter? Sure. But not murder.

(The same issue bothered me in Pieces of Her, but it's more frustrating when the protagonist is A LAWYER.)

Kathleen Early normally knocks it out of the park in these audiobooks, but she just pronounced Uga (the mascot of UGA) as "Ooga," and I just. Cannot.

It's "Ugga," right? I'm not crazy? I'm just a casual SEC follower, but even I know the teams that have cute dogs for mascots. (Reveille is best girl, change my mind.)

I can't get over that prologue. The reveal was so deftly done! It could have been clunky, but Slaughter pulls it off.

Alas, I don't love the modern setting and all the COVID stuff. Grisly rape and murder is fine, but apparently reliving 2020-21 is just too much for me.
