Kill Show by Daniel Sweren-Becker

4.0

I really loved where this story went and how it looked at our true crime mania in a different way. There were quite a few characters but it was easy to follow along thanks to the character key at the start and restating of each characters role in the story (which was organic to the story itself due to its format at exploring events through a documentarian lens). The twists here were both unexpected but also made sense in the frame of the story. It’s not for everyone, I understand that the format may not work for those who would like to experience the original conflict first hand versus through the retelling, but at the end of the day that isn’t what the book advertises itself to be and due to that it stood out amongst other titles I’ve read with similar premise. If you have the cash to purchase this or are looking for unique mysteries or thrillers, this is worth the investment.

Deducted one star as there were just a few aspects of the story that I thought could have been been written or explored in such a way to better understand the characters’ actions (can’t get into this more without potentially spoiling the plot).
