The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a Memoir by Alex Marzano-Lesnevich
4.0
"'Even though I can hear my child's death cry, I, too, can hear Ricky Langley cry for help.'
It's Ricky she testified for. She tries to keep him alive."
I have never read this kind of book before. Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich writes her story of her tramatic past of sexual abuse, while integrating the story of Ricky Langley's murder trial. This memoir is definitely a page turner and kept my mind going with every sentence. However, the topics described in this read were very difficult at times to get through. Marzano-Lesnevich didn't hold back when describing the details in her memoir and at times I wanted to put it down for a rest. Although, the style of her writing and use of foreshadowing made it difficult to not skip ahead at times. Well done. 4 ⭐.
