Savage Appetites: True Stories of Women, Crime, and Obsession by Rachel Monroe

dark informative reflective fast-paced

4.75

i think a lot about the ethics of true. crime and what it means to be a fan of true crime so this book was right up my alley. the author tells the stories of these four different women which such depth and care and kindness (even when some might argue they don’t deserve it). it’s also an interesting blend of historical context + political/sociological research + true crime

some critiques of this book have called it too political or said that they didn’t like how the author inserted herself, but i actually LOVED that. it made the material easy to read and digest.
