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

5.0

Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich is a master of her craft. The writing here is sharp and focused, while the story of Ricky and the story of the author are as brutal and disturbing as they are thoughtful. There is a lot to stomach in this book and nearly all of the topics are difficult to get through (nearly every trigger warning imaginable), but Marzano-Lesnevich’s elegant prose and expert pacing make the journey worthwhile. The reader is left to question where the story *really* begins and whether the world’s most vile villains deserve humility.
