This cover š and the synopsis convinced me to pre-order this book. The recent Killing the Tea episode featuring Amy Engel solidified my decision to pick it up next!
I Did It For You immerses readers into the small town of Ludlow, Kansas as Greer Dunning returns home seeking more information about her sisterās murder and a recent copycat.
This is a complex story, and itās definitely my style. Engelās writing and message clicked with me. While this is a popular trope, the characters and their individual stories felt unique. Their relationships created a challenging and reflective experience that will stick with me.
As a former defense attorney, Amy Engel has seen āvillainsā from a different perspective than most of us. She wove this experience into I Did It for You.
āTo the men and women I defended. Some of your cases were heartbreaking, some were infuriating, some were horrifying, but each one taught me that every person is more than the worst thing theyāve done. Iām forever grateful for that lesson.ā - from Engelās acknowledgments
āļøRATINGāļø: I really liked it! Itās a slower yet consistently paced book that kept me engaged. Iām looking forward to reading The Roanoke Girls and The Familiar Dark even more now! (4āļø)
