4.0

It’s a mystery but also a critique on true crime, and about authorial responsibility and how we treat victims and perpetrators of crimes when we write about them, as well as the crimes themselves. If you don’t read or watch true crime usually, the critiques and self awareness might not shine through but it is still a very well written book. Very stylish.
