Down the Hill: My Descent Into the Double Murder in Delphi by Susan Hendricks

dark emotional hopeful sad medium-paced

3.0

While I do believe that Hendricks came to care deeply about the family of the murdered girls--and she really does try hard to make this book very family-focused--the writing style of this one is very strange. Hendricks is first and foremost a news anchor, and huge chunks of this book are her reading--I think verbatim--from interactions she had on her news show. This makes for long sections of conversation that made me wonder why she didn't just make a video essay or something with the clips, as that would have been more engaging. This book is also blocked from having a great many details, as they just hadn't been released while Hendricks was writing. It takes great care of the victims' families, but the strange writing style and overall lack of information makes it otherwise skippable for me.
