A look into women's relationship with true crime from four perspectives. The author looks into four points of contact with true crime and obsession.
This book had a lot of social commentary which I enjoyed and made me think about my relationship with true crime. Luckily for me, I don't seem to be obsessed. I listen to many podcasts but avoid rabbit holes and obsessive searches into cases.
Overall, it is a great reflection on women's relationship to true crime and how it affects women and society overall.

There are 4 ‘perspectives’ or ‘stories’ to be shared: the detective, the victim (faux friend?), the defender and the killer. The ways in which Rachel Monroe navigated this was intriguing and worthwhile I thought 👏🏼
There are definitely peaks and troughs in this book, but I suppose that was only expected.
All of the research leaning towards NOT sharing killers’ details and pictures was something I’d previously discussed with a colleague and was solidified by this book’s writing.
3.5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨
