I'm giving this book a read today since it's super short, and I'm having a hard time continuing the 5 other books I've started in the past 3 months 🙃🫠 #thisisadhd
I just listened to a podcast about this case on Morbid, and this memoir was recommended for deeper reading/more depth on the case. So cheers to my Saturday evening of cross stitching and true crime. (And also a couple beers) 🍻

reading.rainb0w I realized this is the abridged version, so I also found an ebook copy I can use to cross reference for more depth - if I feel so inclined 1y

Short but captivating true crime. Full of detail with a powerful ending. It dig into some ethical ideas and really packed a punch in a short space.
