A review by cassiecollins
The Devil at His Elbow: Alex Murdaugh and the Fall of a Southern Dynasty by Valerie Bauerlein

challenging dark informative medium-paced

5.0

This was an incredible read. The case on its own is fascinating, but Bauerlein did an excellent job of unraveling this complex and twisted tale from start to finish. She is able to drop you right into these scenes like a fly on the wall and builds up the tension and mystery like a thriller. I also really enjoyed how she captured the absolute movie-feel of

Creighton Waters's epic takedown of Alex Murdaugh on cross-examination

. Really, really great read!
