This book was incredible. I have been following this case from the beginning. I am so happy to have found a book that detailed the entire history of this family - from the late 1800s until present day, spanning four generations. Four generations of deceit and trauma all in one book.

This is the true story of the Murdaugh family, a long line of prominent lawyers making their mark in small town South Carolina. In the public eye they were well-known good ol boys. Their southern hospitality was known all over the county. They would give you the shirt off their back, some said. But behind closed doors they harbored deep, dark secrets. Each decade and each generation had their own scandals including embezzlement, money laundering, suspicious deaths, outright murder, and fraud. This family got away with so much until it all came crashing down.

From the great grandfather to Alex Murdaugh and his sons, it was fascinating to see the timeline of their downfall. There is so much death and trauma surrounding this family. It could have been overwhelming with the amount of information packed into this book, but the author detailed the timeline in a way that made sense. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to read more from this author.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read this ARC in exchange for my honest review!
