Narrator Rating: 4.5 stars

    A look into women's relationship with true crime from four perspectives. The author looks into four points of contact with true crime and obsession.
    This book had a lot of social commentary which I enjoyed and made me think about my relationship with true crime. Luckily for me, I don't seem to be obsessed. I listen to many podcasts but avoid rabbit holes and obsessive searches into cases. 
    Overall, it is a great reflection on women's relationship to true crime and how it affects women and society overall.

Really good! I commend this author for her masterful blending of these stories. This nonfiction is so much more compelling than what I am used to. The only thing was the story about the victim. She just didn't seem to fit with the other women. Something about her story threw me off.
