challenging dark emotional informative mysterious reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

Wow. This book is so complicated and multi-faceted and the author does an amazing job of taking you through her complex feelings of this case as she peels the onion back on the childhood of the accused and her own childhood trauma. The two become intertwined as the process unfolds, and she is brutally honest with her thoughts and feelings throughout the process.
