This book was truly eye opening. The author points out most books revolving around true crime do not focus on the aftermath of said crime. This was an entirely new viewpoint than I usually read and I am so glad I did.
Couple Slain forces you to think about mental health and the impact not only on the crime victims but the “perp” himself. Mikita’s telling of this story was insightful, descriptive, and moving. Within the pages of this book I found myself questioning how institutions are given so much power over illnesses that have no definitive test. This book deserves to be widely read and has the power to evoke real change in my opinion.
