This was an unusual true crime case written about by Katherine Ellison, beginning when she was starting out as a reporter covering the crime beat for her paper. An error in one story later got her sued by one of the people, who was married to the victim and the whole mess dragged on for many years as she followed the case. The reporter kept trying to put it behind her and move on, even taking jobs as a freelancer in foreign countries, but this same case kept pulling her back at times. It’s an interesting read as Ellison tries to face up to things in herself that she wants to change that she feels she may share with the woman who sued her. While at the same time, doing some really great work in her writing. A fascinating story with many twists, and I had the added interest of it going to places in Michigan in the area I grew up, which made it fun. Advance electronic review copy was provided by NetGalley, author Katherine Ellison, and the publisher.
