An interesting crime / feminist read set in 60s America. Whilst I enjoyed the glimpses of Ruth’s perspective, I was somewhat I disengaged by the observations of Pete and his apparent obsession with Ruth. On the other hand, his uncomfortable behaviour feeds into the narrative of Ruth’s objectification and maltreatment.
