The Other Dr. Gilmer: Two Men, a Murder, and an Unlikely Fight for Justice by Benjamin Gilmer

challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

This book is absolutely incredible. I was hesitantly expecting a salacious, exploitative true crime tale. Instead it has left me so moved, crying (well, throughout), & grateful this author exists. It's not just a story of true crime, but more importantly, medical injustice and the injustice of the criminal justice system. It's also a beautiful statement of witnessing by one of the (seemingly) few actually compassionate, humane medical doctors. Very quotable, with characters that feel real and fleshed-out, even the minor characters, reading this was an Experience - it'll stay with me.
