Death on Ocean Boulevard: Inside the Coronado Mansion Case by Caitlin Rother

3.0

---

This story is filled with lots of bizarre, unexplainable details, but the narrative was so straightforward that it didn’t capture my attention as much as I hoped. The author spends a lot of time chronicling the events and I got a little lost in the weeds, particularly during the legal section. I got a lot more interested when the author talked about her personal experience with mental illness and suicide and how those insights affected her view of Zahau. I listened to this one and it was a solid audiobook, although maybe not spectacular.

Trigger Warning: Death of a child, death of a partner, suicide, hanging, murder, sexual abuse
