Blood Will Out: The True Story of a Murder, a Mystery, and a Masquerade by Walter Kirn
dark
mysterious
tense

3.5
You should know from the start that the author is not a likable character and he seems to harbor a lot of negative feelings about women in general. He does however put it all out there in telling the story. The book is marketed as true crime but it’s much more of a memoir. Specifically it explores how the author could have been so taken in and conned by a modern real life Talented Mr. Ripley. That aspect will be especially compelling for anyone who likes cult and scam stories.
