They deserved to be remembered 
This was an incredibly heartbreaking and thought provoking novel. These women fought so hard despite the extraordinary circumstances they faced. They didn’t give up even when they had nothing left.  Learning about the advancements in forensics, medicine, and law was fascinating, and reading about the women’s fight for justice was inspiring.

I thought this was beautifully written! Be that as it may, you’re going to have to be in a good headspace to read this. It is grotesque, heartbreaking, infuriating, and chilling. The post script genuinely caused me to gasp. I had to take a break a couple of days in and read something else for a little while. However, I absolutely recommend this book, especially if this is a subject or a time period that you’re interested in. The author clearly did her research. I learned a lot while I was reading it and found it very compelling.

My only issue with this book was the length. While I understand telling the full story, at times the chapters seemed to drag. 

Otherwise, it has been a long time since I read a story that made me feel all the emotions possible, from disgust to hope. This was an absolutely wonderful read.

This is all true, so it will feel fairly heavy at times, but all of this present, sometimes in graphic detail
