Thank you Ecco and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Rating: 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 stars.

Unspeakable Acts is an anthology of 13 articles revolving around true crime that were edited into this book by Sarah. Some articles are about popular true crime cases and others are about evidence and border patrol.

As a huge true crime fan, I was very excited to read Unspeakable Acts. However, I was disappointed as the articles included for the popular true crime cases were of very popular cases. I found it hard to want to keep reading when I have already heard all of the same details from countless podcasts and true crime shows such as Dateline. Each of the articles that she chose were very well written and researched. I did learn some new things from one of the articles such as the true identity of author Anne Perry (mindblown) and why her case is similar to the Slenderman case.

I would have preferred some articles on cases that are not as popular as that would have brought some new eyes to cases that are not in the limelight.

Overall, I would recommend Unspeakable Acts to readers who want to get into true crime reading, but haven't listened to a lot of true crime podcasts or watched a lot of true crime documentaries.
