Honestly... I didn’t finish this book (although I’m marking it as done so that my page numbers even out with other books I’ve abandoned/frogged). It wasn’t what I hoped it ended up being. I think it would be good for people who are just getting into true crime, but it doesn’t hit the mark. It’s too much true crime to not attract your average reader, but it doesn’t dive too much into the psychology of each narrative to really make it worth reading. I got through the majority of this book (maybe like 70%?), but it read like a true crime podcast (which others have also noted). If I wanted to have a true crime podcast format, I would just listen to a true crime podcast, not read this book.

If you are looking for a podcast recommendation: And That’s Why We Drink is pretty good. Half paranormal and half true crime.
