The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a Memoir by Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich

3.0

This book was very difficult for me due to the dark subject matter dealing with child molestation and murder. As I always tend to do, I didn't read the jacket copy, so went into this as a true crime novel, but quickly realized that the driving force behind the narrative is the personal experience of the author. I am not a huge fan of memoir and the dark ruminations that ran throughout honestly left me feeling depressed while reading this book. It is well researched, and well written, but as far as my taste goes, it was a two and half star read for me.
