This was a good audiobook listen for true crime lovers. The actual story was interesting and the way it’s told from multiple perspectives and in different formats was really cool. The actual story is predictable but still leaves some mystery and kept me interested. I would say the ending was quite lacking as it dragged on and seemed to conclude four or five separate ways without giving the reader a true ending feeling. The conclusion just feels…missing. Still a good read!

I'm not gonna lie, I'm conflicted on this one.
While it was thrilling and a definite page turner, I reeeeeaally do not like how

an abuser ended up being portrayed as a nice guy in the end. I also do not like how this tries to perpetuate the myth of a child being able to "seduce" a grown ass forty five year old man??? Because she was, what? Deranged?

Fuck that noise. That's some pedo apologist bullshit.
That left a bitter taste in my mouth.
I did like the book other than that, it was a good read, it had me hooked from start to finish, but these aspects just grossed me out a lot.

dark mysterious reflective medium-paced

4.75

A dark but artfully crafted psychological thriller. An excellent balance of foreshadowing and details slowly revealed over time. The audiobook is very well produced, and the book lends itself well to that format.
