This is an interesting psychological thriller that affects an entire neighborhood. A lot of truths in the story make the twist almost believable that it would happen in today's world. I was on the edge of my seat towards the end, but the build up in the beginning was a little slow-burn for my taste. However the payoff was definitely worth it.
This book was okay for me. As someone who struggles with ADHD and memory, I was constantly feeling like I was missing things. I couldn't remember characters or the plot due to the backwards telling of the story. While I love the idea of the crime being told backwards, it was incredibly hard to remember over the span of days. If I had to read the book again I would wait until I had one full day to dedicate to it. This is a book that I feel would have been better had I read it in one sitting.
Incredible true story about one of the worst moms in history. I had to constantly remind myself that this story was true as the horrors were so over-the-top evil that they were difficult for a psychologically average person to comprehend as possible. As a consistent true crime consumer, it was a new case I had never heard about. The author has a clear voice and determination to tell the victim's stories.
