It's an interesting story, but it was hard to get through a book about lawyers

This is a very interesting "true crime" read. It's totally a one sided account(which I think you can gather from the description). This book enraged me at times regarding the criminal justice system in the U.S. The first chapter is a little gruesome with murder details but overall it's a good book to listen to in the car while commuting.

Interesting and maddening. If there is a hell, I hope there's a special nook for crooked law enforcement and court officers whose desire to win or simply wrap up a case causes innocent people and their families (the accused and the victims) to suffer so much.
I did watch the Netflix special based on this book a year or so ago and am glad I read the book. Much more detail here. Although I thought there was more about Ward and Fontenot in the show compared with the book. I'll have to rewatch it.
If you're a fan of true crime books or books about miscarriages of justice, this one will likely keep you involved and interested.

It was mundane and slow. Did not keep my interest
