Exactly how much of myself am I revealing when I mention that I think my favorite kind of mystery is murders of passion being recounted by someone involved years after?

There is something amazing and resoundingly eerie about a story of how someone who never would have ended up here, and yet here they are.

The things I could say about this story in particular are endless it is such a work of art and in such an extraordinary way I can feel these characters and see this murder so real in my mind.

It's heartbreakingly tragic and just I love it so much.
