Reading/listening to this was like listening to a true crime documentary with exclusive behind the scenes peeks in the world surrounding it all. The audiobook was amazingly done and I’m convinced it’s the only way to read this book.

Brilliant. I don't want to say much as I don't want to spoil it by mistake. Just brilliant.

The content warnings are just that those things are mentioned. They aren't big parts just mentioned.
