Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an audiobook of this title in exchange for a honest review.

As a true crime buff, I was excited to listen to this new book about the Murdaugh murders. I only started paying attention to this case almost at the end of the trial so I did not have much information until I saw the trial on TV and watched the Netflix documentary.

The book provides a history of the Murdaugh family in the Low Country. It provided a background to understand how Alex Murdaugh was a criminal well before the murders occurred.

What was disappointing in this book was some incorrect details regarding the night the murders occurred, which could influence others not familiar with the true details.

Overall, the book was interesting but not more informative than what you could get from the documentary or podcasts about the Murdaugh murders.

I truly feel sorry for the victims who died at the hands of the Murdaughs.

Thank you to Henry Winkler, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley for an advanced audiobook of Being Henry in exchange for my honest review.

I grew up in the 80s watching reruns of Happy Days and of course "The Fonz" was a favorite character. Listening to this audiobook, narrated by the author, was riveting and interesting, especially learning more about Henry Winkler's personal and professional life. Growing up with a tumultuous relationship with his parents and dealing with dyslexia (especially undiagnosed for most of his life) were obvious obstacles in his life. The audiobook describes Henry's desire to be an actor and the struggles dealing with type casted after being "The Fonz". I loved that his wife, Stacey, also narrated parts of the audiobook along side Henry. I never know that Henry was part of the creation of "Smokey Mountain Christmas" with Dolly Parton...one of my favorite Christmas movies. I now want to see more things that Henry has either starred in or directed/produced. This is a highly recommended audiobook!
