3.0
3.5 stars: This is an interesting collection of not-well-known cases, as always smoothly and respectfully narrated by Kevin Pierce (my most recommended true crime audiobook narrator), and is written by talented authors (two of which are friends of mine—disclaimer.) I only rate this down because this is really a bits-and-bites true crime collection: this is what happened, and that’s it. No insight into why, no delving deep. There was a shockingly short case study about a mother who killed some of her children rather violently: it described the day it occurred, and then ended. I felt more like a voyeur reading this than the student of psychology I am.*
*no really, BA psy and MEd counseling. I reread this review and saw that last part read as really flippant. Sorry about that. I intensely want to know all the whys all the time. It’s a curse.
