Tell Me Everything: The Story of a Private Investigation by Erika Krouse
4.0
Thank you so much to NetGalley, Flatiron Books, and the author for an uncorrected e-galley of Tell Me Everything in exchange for an honest review. I read it on my Kindle from 3/3/22 - 3/12/22.
This book is really good. If it wasn’t for my e-galley approval, I certainly would have purchased this from Book of the Month for March. As a criminal lawyer for my day job and an avid thrills, chills, and kills hobby reader in my free time, the description hooked me. It is different from the serial killer thrillers I normally indulge myself in, but it also shares some of the same themes that make fictional and true crime thrillers appealing: whodunit, accurate depiction of legal processes, justice, and the small glimmer of hope that the wrongs are somehow righted in the end.
What I enjoyed the most about this book is that it was a memoir and non-fiction, yes, but it was written as a story, a story centered about a major case, instead of a probably boring chronological re-cap of life as a PI. The book often shifted between side stories and details, like about the Colorado weather and the author’s personal life and hobbies, but that made a book about sexual assault more readable and enjoyable. It also provided good context.
I caught and noted a few grammatical errors in the uncorrected galley, but I am certain those would have been fixed prior to publication.
I am rating this book 4/5 stars. I enjoyed most parts and would recommend to others.
Thank you again for the opportunity to read and review!
