I had very high hopes for this book, as I always have a predisposition to enjoying a non fiction, true crime novel. However, I found this book hard to digest. While I appreciate that is was extremely well researched and hats off to the author for that, I found it hard to follow along with parts of the narrative. The story was seemingly swallowed up by the detailed and I found it hard to focus at times. While I thoroughly enjoyed reading about something that I had no prior knowledge of and the story itself had a thrilling premise, I just couldn’t submerged myself in the story. Finally, I felt some vocabulary was used for the sake of. What could have been written more succinctly and plainly was over elaborated and again, had a tendency to distract rather than add to the reading experience. Overall, this unfortunately wasn’t a book for me. It would probably strike a chord with others who are more a fan of detail and description heavy narratives, but did not serve me well.
