Kitty Genovese: A True Account of a Public Murder and Its Private Consequences by Catherine Pelonero

4.0

---

Definitely recommending the audio version of this book! Incredibly detailed and throughly researched, Pelonero captures not only who Kitty Genovese was, but also that of her neighborhood and the man who killed her. The writing is a little clunky and repetitive in parts, but the narration made it less noticeable (I also listened at 2x speed). I knew a lot about Kitty prior to this bookn but I had little knowledge of the police investigation and the man who committed the crime.
