Savage Appetites: True Stories of Women, Crime, and Obsession by Rachel Monroe

dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.5

I really loved this book overall. Monroe did a great job providing a riveting, well-rounded description of the obsessions of these women, their motives, and the overall anxieties of society that were at play. It was hard to put the book down! My only negative feedback was that it   broached a lot of topics at the expense of depth. Maybe that was part of the point, though - that women’s interest in crime is as complex and complicated as the cases they follow or experience more directly.
