Narrator Rating: 4.5 stars
A look into women's relationship with true crime from four perspectives. The author looks into four points of contact with true crime and obsession.
This book had a lot of social commentary which I enjoyed and made me think about my relationship with true crime. Luckily for me, I don't seem to be obsessed. I listen to many podcasts but avoid rabbit holes and obsessive searches into cases.
Overall, it is a great reflection on women's relationship to true crime and how it affects women and society overall.
