 This book is about a gruesome crime committed at the Lululemon store in Bethesda, Maryland in 2011. Brittany Norwood murdered her coworker Jayna Murray, because Murray caught her stealing a pair of (overpriced) leggings. I won't spoil this short story with all the details, but Norwood really worked Murray over. That was a massive amount of injury for one body. Norwood's attempt to cover up what she did was eye-widening. Crime scene photos are available on Google if you are into that, but they are pretty bloody.

I prefer my true crime books to be an unbiased, factual account of the case. This one leaned a lot toward the victim's side. While understandable, it wasn't on par with the hard hitting true crime investigative books that I generally read. This book was free to listen to on Audible Plus, so no harm done as far as spending money for something that wasn't the best. I think it was just over a three hour listen, so worth the time spent. I did learn about this case, which I had not heard of previously, so it was worth checking out for that reason alone.
