Terrific premise. Good writing and I will look for more by the author.

But omg all the True Crime episodes. Way too much gore, abuse, evil, greed. Proportionally much more of that than could be considered "ordinary."

Couldn't Gene have picked a few more "ordinary" events? Surely some grandchild accomplished something amazing the day of a grandparent's passing, or some baby was born to a functional family and grew up to be someone who served challenged families, or someone was the first in their family to get accepted to university.... something more typical, ordinary, and happy.

But he clearly had fun doing research, both in archives and in interviews. That shows, and so some readers will like it. However, I cannot recommend it.

In fact, the more I digest it, the less I value it. Knocked down a star.
