Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud and the Last Trial of Harper Lee by Casey Cep
challenging
mysterious
slow-paced
3.0
Trigger warnings: murder, death, violence, racism
This book was interesting, but it also very much felt like a book in three parts - the accused murderer, the lawyer/politician, and the author - and it didn't quite feel like the three parts of the story overlapped or merged in the ways I was hoping they would. Through the second half of the book, it really did feel like the true crime aspect of the story fell by the wayside.
Don't get me wrong, all three parts of the story were interesting! They just felt like three quite separate stories and all three had very different vibes. At times, they even felt like different genres. So yeah. It was interesting! But it wasn't what I wanted it to be.
