I also read that it was a "must-listen", and I am glad I went the audiobook route on this. Hearing the words of the male victims of the female serial rapist was chilling but also frustrating. It is natural to feel bad for the victims, but it almost felt like a parody hearing the words I have heard so many women in my life say - not only women on screen, in books, in media, but women I know and care about; the same words that received responses from others (mostly men) ranging from disbelief to accusation to complete lack of concern - being said by men seeking sympathy and closure.
It wasn't an easy listen and certainly not one I'll revisit, not soon anyway, but it was effective.
