Tragedy defined

Heard about this story so I knew quite a bit about it... but the retelling of the story hits you in the feels. The fact that a young child was witness to his mother being attacked and killed in broad daylight is absolutely heartbreaking.

Break Down

Some of the crime stories in this series I had previously heard about, but a lot I had not. A mini break down of the crimes really sheds light on the criminals of the time and of this time. I do admit I did well up with some of the stories, such travesties. As weird as I feel saying I enjoyed listening, it was enjoyable as crime "entertainment" goes; intriguing overall.

I know crime

I have watched this on television and I have heard the stories before and I have been a victim of crime and murder and abuse. it is a very serious subject and situation that is not to be taken lightly.

Exceptional series

I enjoyed this series very much. It held my attention. Long enough to provide details and short enough to get through one on a break or lunch. I appreciate the mix of actors, narration, reality and overall color. Thank you.

There was warning, but truly 'not for me,' is the best way to respond to this book.
