The Monsters We Make by Kali White

3.0

The very idea that this one is based on actual events is chilling enough. The fact that I remember this happening pushes it beyond that. This one is more crime drama than thriller or mystery, so keep that in mind. It doesn't really have the pacing for a thriller and it's too predictable for any real suspense, but that doesn't make it any less compelling. I'm dating myself, but I certainly remember the early 80s, and Kali White did an excellent job of painting a picture of small-town life in that era. This isn't a book that will be for everyone, but it is well done and if you enjoy crime dramas, this is a good one.
