challenging informative slow-paced

3.0

I really enjoyed the true crime aspects of this story, but struggled with the memoir side of it. The author is knowledgeable and shares tons of interesting information, but I kept getting distracted every time she veered off into discussing reality shows, or whatever diet she was on at the time, or what kind of snacks people bought for a road trip. It felt pretty jarring to basically be like "I was feeding rotisserie chicken to this lady's dog. But anyways, back to unknown corpses!" I definitely would have enjoyed this much more had the book stuck to the facts and professional aspects of the author's work.
