challenging dark inspiring tense slow-paced

4.0

 This was an interesting read. It's fairly short and it follows the case of Diane Downs, a woman who shot her three kids. It's short, to the point, no flowery language, and so well researched.

In this book we follow Diane's version of events, the aftermath, how her surviving children healed, Diane's past, the court proceedings, and her stay in a women's correctional facility(and her escape and recapture).

It's short, but definitely worth reading.
