Started off a little slow as we get to know the characters but picks up a lot once the murder hits. Loved Chadhis (spelling?)

I think on the sense of taking a real historical event and making it fictitious was an interesting choice. However, I also think it was an easy cop out for a white author to use the n word a bunch. Also when it came to the writing, it felt a little disjointed. Basically like a poorly put together autobiography. Some points of the story didn’t feel necessary to the overarching plot of the Williams trials.
