Devil's Knot by Mara Leveritt
3.0
I would say this was 3.5 because the beginning wasn't great. The author may be an award winning journalist but an award winning fiction writer she is not. True crime writers sometimes put parts of the story in a... well *story* setting. And this is not Leveritt's best angle. When she stopped doing that and got down to the details I was riveted. I like those types of "stories" in a true crime story because it really puts you into the narrative but if it's written badly it takes away from it. Get someone else to do it or admit defeat.
As a sidebar, that "judge" should be put in jail too. I know not being impartial isn't a crime but there were victims here because of him, and it wasn't just the three boys that were murdered or even the boys who were imprisoned. It was everyone involved. Oh also, Driver is a dick.
