This was interesting but I do not think I’d read it again.

For mye world building. Og beskrivelser av karakterer. Hadde boka bare vært straight up, det den begynte med. (Rettssaken og pov fra kona leading up til mordet) (hadde forfatteren kommet til poenget med en gang) 5 stjerner. Til å være en kort bok så er den en kjempe slow burn for meg.

I loved the narrative style of this. At first I thought it started off slow, but then I realised that every piece of information was integral to the story. I feel like the book could have been longer, filling in the gaps and taking some more creative licence with our characters' backstories, even though it is based on a true story. The characters we did see were very nuanced and it was hard to support or oppose any of them outright. I would certainly read more from this author in the future and more on this story in particular.
