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

5.0

Incredibly unique, honest, heartbreaking, never self-indulgent. I devoured this book. I was skeptical about the two themes of a murder case and a memoir coming together, but it turned out as the book unfolded that the way these links are explored was the best part of the story. The author explores her fascination with a murder case and how it trickled into her life. She sees her own story reflected in the victims, perpetrators, and family members, but not in a way that I expected when I first opened the book. Gorgeously written in a style that intentionally pulled me into the experiences of the book's many characters.
