As a person who regularly listens to true crime podcasts, this was an excellent format to present a story like this. I always think about the subjects in the story and what their life was like and what they went through. The book also does a good job of presenting these situations with a level of realism. It’s not a hero vs. villains story. It’s about a person trying to gain a little bit of control in her life when she had everything ripped away from her.
