Unbelievable story, despite being true. Typically I love books written from multiple perspectives, but this time around I struggled to feel connected to the characters – perhaps because there were so many and no one really took center stage.

Read as part of book club. Disappointed that this was more family drama than murder mystery; especially given the anticlimactic ending.
