I can see this perspective but either way, and I hate to say terrible things about the "victim" he wasn't a good guy and deserved what he got. He probably would have been murdered at some point by a rival mafia guy. She had to marry him to live with him or sleep with him.
He beat her, he drugged her, and took explicit photos of her, and it was the 1950s! She would have gotten the death penalty. So, whether Cheryl or Lana did it, good riddance. He wasn't a good guy at all. And in today's world IF Lana did it, she would not have been convicted, most likely.
The book had some language that was seriously sexist and misogynist. Which is one reason I didn't rate it great. As well as just not being that interesting or adding anything new to an old story. It seemed well-researched though so it wasn't a total dud.
Narrator Rating: 2 stars
I'll say it louder for the people in the back. Do NOT read your non-fiction unless it's a memoir or you're a professional in some audio media. The author didn't do a great job and I HATE his voice!
