Intriguing true crime novel

The author tells the real-life tale of his relative, presumed to have been murdered at the hands of her husband. Brilliantly narrated by Daniela Acitelli, who breathes life into a multitude of characters and packs the book with so many emotions. Not your typical true-crime tale.

Good story; terrible narrator

If you can find control your gag reflex & tolerate your eye rolling due to narrator's pathetic over-dramatization & ridiculous over-acting, you'll really enjoy the story. It's quite fascinating!! The book improves as it progresses, & it's so amazing that it's a true story. I especially enjoyed the author's inclusion of his own memories & involvement in the events. It really added to the experience of learning the story. It was also really interesting to learn about life in a rural Greek village through an actual resident. The narrator drove me crazy with her annoying dramatic ranting, but I loved the story.
