i really enjoyed this book. overall, i thought it was very well written, paced, and just the right length. 
left very good breadcrumbs throughout the read that really all came together with the big reveal. ending felt very realistic. would recommend.

While this book was very hard to read due to the topics at hand, I thought it was done very well. The story of the trial was told in a brutally honest way.

The dual perspectives were both very engaging and the ending came together well. I definitely wanted to keep reading to see how it all wrapped up.

This was an absolutely incredible thriller! It kept me on the edge of my seat and I could not stop reading. It got to a point where I had to know how it ended.  I really liked the podcast sections and the dual pov.

As a podcast listener and true crime lover, I loved this book a lot. The format between Hannah, Rachel and the podcast, was easy to follow and compelling to read. I also liked following the current court case and having the cold case getting reopened at the same time.
