Under the Bridge
Under the Bridge | Rebecca Godfrey
4 posts | 11 read | 10 to read
Who were the seemingly ordinary teenagers who beat and killed a girl who longed to be their friend? And how could they hide the murder from their parents and teachers and the police for eight days? Drawing on six years of research -- including interviews with the accused -- acclaimed writer Rebecca Godfrey answers these questions in this stunning account of the notorious "Schoolgirl Murder." Through a skillful blend of hard journalism and riveting narrative, Godfrey takes us into the bedrooms and classrooms of a powerful hip-hop-obsessed clique and the loner-victim who just wanted to belong, then into the police stations and courtrooms where adults -- grieving, devastated -- must reckon with the shocking crime. Highlighting along the way the deeply entrenched social tensions that provoked the murder, Under the Bridge is more than a true-crime book -- it is an unforgettable wake-up call.

Under The Bridge, now a series on Hulu, is a must read for any true crime fan. I had never heard of this case prior to the book and series, and once I read the book, I was completely wrapped up in it. The tragedy of it, the warped mentality that caused it, along with the effects on the families and the community as a whole makes for a true story like no other. I found the in depth research and interviews extremely compelling.

LeahBergen I thought this was really well done, too. 9mo
Tamra I‘m going to look for it on Hulu! 9mo

I didn‘t like it and then I did and then it was so hard to read because it‘s just such an awful, senseless crime and it‘s so violent and weighted. This is a paperback re-release and I know the book was written in 2005 so some of the more problematic language can maybe be excused but overall, fascinating story, just really disturbing more than anything.
