Welcome to Litsy!

Under The Bridge, now a series on Hulu, is a must read for any true crime fan. I had never heard of this case prior to the book and series, and once I read the book, I was completely wrapped up in it. The tragedy of it, the warped mentality that caused it, along with the effects on the families and the community as a whole makes for a true story like no other. I found the in depth research and interviews extremely compelling.

I didn‘t like it and then I did and then it was so hard to read because it‘s just such an awful, senseless crime and it‘s so violent and weighted. This is a paperback re-release and I know the book was written in 2005 so some of the more problematic language can maybe be excused but overall, fascinating story, just really disturbing more than anything.

I‘m on a bit of a true crime trip... a newish genre for me and it‘s been great to discover some really thoughtful and well written classics ..
