This book surprised me with the excellent layout and handling of the story.  I had not rushed to read this due to the premise as I shy away from sexual assault/rape storylines and legal thrillers.  The true crime podcast angle was enjoyable and added to the novel when I feared it would distract.  While the subject matter was tough, there were some necessary insights that are relevant to discussion today.
