4.0

I just finished this book, and honestly, it hit me hard. I remember when this case was all over the news, and even back then, something felt seriously wrong. Reading this, it just solidified that gut feeling. The whole thing is a massive, heartbreaking miscarriage of justice, and I honestly can't believe such a miscarriage of justice like this can even happen.

Ellen's family has been fighting for answers for years. You just can't help but root for them to finally get the justice they deserve. It seems like they take one step forward and ten steps back. 

Now, if you were like me and followed the case pretty closely when it happened, you might not find a ton of brand new information in here but you will get more details about that information. But even if you know the details, it's still a compelling read. It's a reminder of how easily justice can go astray and how important it is to keep fighting for the truth.

If you're interested in true crime and want to see how a system can fail, this book is worth your time. It's a powerful and important story, and I really hope it helps Ellen's family continue to fight for their daughter.

Thank you NetGalley and Post Hill Press for an ARC of this book. I voluntarily read and gave an honest review.
