The Five

The critiques of this book are valid (assumptions of what someone must have felt, etc.), but I think the author made a purposefully choice to give as much of these women's lives back to them. To make them as real on the page as possible, because we all know they've had that taken from them literally and then time and time again by the media for decades. I believe conjecture into how someone may have felt or what they may have done in an effort to accomplish that is absolutely fine. I appreciate that this book exists and attempts, and in my opinion succeeds, to redefine what true crime can be and how treatment of victims' stories should be done.
