The Fact of a Body

The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a Memoir

This is not an easy book to read. Lots of trigger warnings - child abuse, pedophilia, murder.

That said, what the author does in bringing these two stories together is somewhat remarkable. Once the reader realizes why Marzano-Lesnevich is so obsessed with this particular case, the intricate ways in which she has weaved the two narratives together is apparent, and fascinating. Hard but excellent.
