Kind of a strange perspective. Essentially reads like an article that incorporates a bunch of quotes from all of the people but remains at a distance from everything happening. Ultimately it feels a bit strange for a novel, to me. It doesn’t really feel like it’s telling the victims stories, just recount events as best as they know, despite some of the dialogue having to be an extrapolation.

You do learn what happened in chronological order, stitched together from research and interviews. So if that’s what you want and expect, you’ll get that. It’s just formatted in an odd way in order to tell this particular story. It almost feels like an oral history you’d watch on those true crime shows that reenact what’s happened.
