I’ve read an ample amount of true crime novels, but this one is at the top of my list and if I could give this book a thousand stars, I would. The layers upon layers of research that went into this book is astounding, and at times, I would often forget that I was reading a true crime about a monster named Alex Murdaugh.

This powerful novel takes us through the Murdaugh family, not just Alex’s family, but way back to 1940 to Alex’s great grandfather who took his own life because of his own demons. The Murdaugh family is known to sweep trouble under the rug for years, but after the night that Alex killed Maggie and Paul, his world and everything that he’d built came crashing down.

If you’re like me who devoured the documentaries on Netflix and wanted so much more, come down this rabbit hole with me. This book isn’t for the light hearted though, Valerie goes in depth into the harrowing details about the crime scene down at the kennels that fateful night. It breaks my heart to see this monster get away with so much in life that he would stoop so low as to kill his own family to keep his secrets tucked away. The only person Alex loves is himself and he deserves to rot in prison for the rest of his life.
