Wow. I'd give this book all the stars possible. This books was so well written - engaging, well laid out, everything I want from a non-fiction book. I haven't been this gripped by a non-fiction book since I read Bad Blood by John Carreyrou in one day. Because I had to go to work, it took me 1.5 days to read these 480 pages and the lost sleep was worth it. Many biographies lose my attention by telling the story purely chronologically. This author's choice to go back and forth in time during the first half really helps keep the reader engaged and lay foundation for the whys of what happened in the Murdaugh family. I am a career prosecutor handling compex cases from investigation through trial and I felt for the attorneys and law enforcement officers working to expose wrongdoing to their own emotional and physical expense, many of whom earning only modest compensation for those long hours. Thank you so much to the publisher for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.
