Welcome to Litsy!

This was fascinating! I have listened to the podcast The Thing About Pam, so I knew the overall story. But this goes into a much deeper dive. The first trial is infuriating! And while the author clearly loves himself (he makes a point to talk about how good looking he is), he was a great lawyer, and it‘s a really good book.

I felt like switching up my reading a bit as I don‘t think I‘ve read any nonfiction for a while. It must be “true crime time”. 😉

Audiobook & a puzzle...a great way to spend a hot summer day inside. Now let's see how long before the cats ruin it (which is why I usually don't do many puzzles anymore) 🤔😼

Listening to this true-crime audiobook. About a murder case that happened near my college town. The husband was changed for the crime but years later was found innocent. Who is the real killer?

I applied for a job with the local public defenders office and have an interview this week! Honestly, it's a crazy coincidence that this story is based there.

Well wish me luck! It's a job that matches my masters degree so well!

Another savage TBR to choose from 😂😊

Birthday gift from my oldest. Hand knit socks too. 😁 also an Olive Garden lunch.

The fact that this was an actual murder.that due to some sub par investigative work an innocent man was initially incarcerated for the murder of his wife was beyond disturbing.To then read how the actual murderer wasn't even considered to be a suspect for such a long time was just gob smacking to me. Especially given how it is revealed that her own mother also died under suspicious circumstances. A well written, informative true crime read.⭐⭐⭐⭐

My #bookmail is on 🔥 today. Kensington Press sent a finished copy of this recent true crime release.

I'm a total weirdo, I think. I love true crime & non-fiction but have decided I do not like memoirs or autobiographies. I don't mind essays but I don't like short stories.

I think I might be a #booksnob. 🤣😂

Ok so I live in Illinois right across the river from St Louis. So this was a “local” case for me. I remember it being in the news. I didn‘t see the Dateline interview but I‘ll look it up and watch it now that I‘ve read this book. This is so maddening and heartbreaking at the same time. Very through look at a case that should never have gone to trial once let alone twice. At least the right person is in jail now! #readingchallenge2022

Wow- recently, I started to thoroughly enjoy listening to #TrueCrime books. Though Missouri isn‘t far from IL, I missed the news stories about Betsy Faria‘s murder while it all unfolded. This book, spanning years, covers the time when Russell, Betsy‘s husband, comes home from his standing night with friends to discover her body- stabbed 55 times. The investigation that follows takes one strange turn after another to make this a riveting listen!
