Really interesting commentary on the criminal justice system. This book does a great job of humanizing both the offender and the victim, as well as their families. Highly recommend!

The storytelling was just so incredibly slow. This is a sad, complicated case but the author did not draw me in in the slightest. The first 50% of the book was all background and so many names it was hard to keep track.
