The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule

5.0

This book made me feel so sick and conflicted, mostly about the death penalty. It's rare that I find a book that really makes me feel the intricacies of emotions of every single character, and this has given me way too much to think about. I wish I could have removed myself from the emotional side of things by pretending this was fiction, but no, at every turn I had to remember that there are people sick and messed up enough to do these things to completely innocent people, and to never give victims and their families a sense of peace even after they have, seemingly, confessed and died.
