really liked it
bookshelves: audios

Do you listen to any podcasts, especially crime/true crime podcasts? I don’t listen to any, but I wish I did. I’ve watched a few true crime shows where it’s actually been the podcaster whose helped solve the crime.

One of my favorite ways to “read� a book is to do a read/listen, especially when there’s an ensemble cast in the format of a true crime docuseries. The Anatomy of Desire has an exceptional multi-narrator cast, so this was the perfect candidate for a read/listen combo.

Unfortunately, I’ve not read the classic, An American Tragedy, of which this is a reimagining, but that didn’t affect my engagement in this story of a fatal love triangle and the trial afterwards. L.R. Dorn is a writing duo, and I’m super excited to read what they bring us next.

I received a gifted copy of the book and audiobook from the publisher and Libro.fm.

JanB Yes I do! I love true crime podcasts, and my fascination with true crime started back when I was a teenager. I'm fascinated by the psychology behind the crimes.

Amazing review Jennifer! I think I'd enjoy this on audio.
