This book definitely kept me on the edge of my seat and had everything I look for in a true crime book. Telling the backstory and allowing me to get to know the victims, then seeing how those that bring down the killers go about solving the crime. It was a great book in that I felt like i was able to watch from start to finish how to bring to justice what was needed to be brought to justice.

This is about that best friend who stands up to your abusive husband, and pays with her life in the process. This book is not only disturbing, but highly emotional. I commend the writer for not giving up and trying to help solve the mystery, where did the killer go? Great read for us true crime fans!

I really enjoyed this story, the title drew me in because I am a Jim Croce fan but was surprised, as a Canadian myself, to hear this true crime story that I'd never heard of. I found it carefully and empathetically handled. It made me really feel like I got to know the victim and infuriated and saddened me even more what happened to her as the book goes on.

Krystal Senyk was the kind of woman and friend that anyone was lucky to have in their life. She chose to help one of her friends escape an abusive relationship. However, the friend’s abusive spouse, Ron Bax, soon turned his attention to her and began harassing her. Krystal was found dead, and Ron disappeared. Many years later, the case is still unsolved.

A special thanks to @librofm and @PenguinCanada for my review copy of this excellent true crime read! It was short but packed a punch. The research was very thorough and moving. The authors will really delve into how women are often re-victimized by the system after already suffering in an abusive relationship. Krystal’s story was heartbreaking, and my heart goes out to her family, who is still searching for answers.

I received a free copy of, I Got a Name, by Eliza Robertson: Myles Dolphin, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Krystal Senyk, never should of died. Her murder Ronald Bax has never been found. Krystal had been let down by so many people, inept law enforcement, and her best friend. Such a sad story, and senseless.

So many elements are explored in this true crime tale. Women's rights in the justice system especially. This story is heart wrenching and should stand as a cautionary story for women and the law. Excellent read.

I Got a Name: The Murder of Krystal Senyk by Eliza Robertson is a true-crime story that is both vivid and meticulous in its portrayal of the deep fractures in a system that repeatedly fails to protect women. The book takes a deep dive into an unresolved murder case that occurred 31 years ago in Yukon, Canada. The author's writing style is engaging and thought-provoking, and she does an excellent job of exposing the systemic issues that still exist in our society.

I highly recommend this book for the true crime reader. It's a book that will stay with you long after you've turned the final page.

Thank You to the publisher, the authors, and the NetGalley for this ARC.

Krystal was murdered for trying to help a friend leave her abusive husband. What follows is research into finding the killer, a broken system, and a quest for justice. This was an interesting nonfiction read. The authors did quite a bit of researching. Are the people providing the information to the authors credible? If so, which ones? There were some scary people I wouldn't want to mess with and I'm not sure the Krystal's family will ever have all the answers or her killer found. The books provides stats on which cases are covered by investigators, the media, etc. and the discrepancy between the genders and race.

This was an engrossing read with depth about a killing in the Yukon of Canada. Krystal was just helping her good friend to get away from her abusive husband, when he turned his anger on her. Ron Bax blamed Krystal for his wife leaving him and taking the kids. What follows is a look at the broken system and sad lack of results in the case, as the killer was never caught.

I requested this one because it might be an upcoming title I would like to review on my Youtube Channel. However, after reading the first several chapters I have determined that this book does not suit my tastes. So I decided to DNF this one.
