My Daddy is a Hero: How Chris Watts Went from Family Man to Family Killer by Lena Derhally

challenging dark emotional medium-paced

4.0

Know going in that this book is told in two distinct segments. The first 60% is about the murders, and if you’re familiar with the story, I don’t think you’ll find much new here. It did organize everything happening into a linear timeline between all the key players, which painted a clear picture, but overall, this part of the book was repetitive and an average read for me. (The book as a whole was repetitive throughout.) The author is a psychotherapist and the final 40% of the books focuses on her thoughts about the crime. For me, this is what set the book apart and I found her professional observations fascinating and ended this book with a different perspective than when I started.
