I am glad I finally listened.

This book has popped up a few times in my recommended section but I saw "New Year's Day" and kept on scrolling, because I knew. Kathryn and I were pregnant at the same time in 2001. My baby was due in July, stillborn in June, and her baby, Ruby, was born July 4. I met them in her World of Mirth store in Carytown. I was worried this book would try to glorify their killers but I didn't detect that. I'm so grateful to hear the story of the people who helped bring those evil people to justice. If the police in PA had done their jobs in the death of the first wife, NONE of this would have happened. I blame them from beginning to end, and still to this day. Thank you for writing this book and sharing it with us. I light a candle every year for them, I'll light one for your family from now on too. Just one word of note about this platform, I feel like narration makes or breaks these books, and that virtual voice narrator drives me insane. Otherwise, this is a good and tasteful, albeit short listen.
