challenging dark emotional informative mysterious tense medium-paced

4.75

The last couple of chapters made me feel a little weird, otherwise this would've been 5 stars. Something about talking about the incredibly precarious situation these tapes put the unknown third individual in and then naming them and not really referencing any permission that was received to do so was uncomfortable to me after such conversations were referenced about other individuals. However, I did listen to the audiobook which did not contain the endnotes present in the physical one, so maybe (I hope) something is said there.
