dr_e_lee's review against another edition

I have read a lot of true crime in my time, but this was rough. I felt like there really wasn’t a story/plot. I just listened to hour after hour or horrifying child abuse. I assume there is an end to the story but there was just no indication that the abuse would stop or the parents would get caught. Or even that the sisters were united at any point. Not for the faint of heart

nikkihall's review against another edition

While well written, this was horrifying to read. This woman's actions are truly evil and I just couldn't read any more.

challenging dark sad tense medium-paced

2.5

This is a hard one to give a star rating to as it is a horrific account of real life abuse, torture, and death. I went with just a middle rating for that reason.
