kfergy's review

challenging dark informative sad medium-paced

4.0

Considered the first contemporary "true crime novel," the writing is very compelling and the quotes from and conversations between characters/witnesses is a really interesting approach to telling the story. It makes me wonder slightly about creative licence on the part of the author, but I dig it. Huge warning for racist slurs though - you could say it goes with the territory for the place and time, but a warning nonetheless.
