American Mother: The True Story of a Troubled Family, Motherhood, and the Cyanide Murders That Shook the World | 
pickIn 1986, two people in the Seattle area died of cyanide poisoning. This book shows what happened along with the eventual trial of the person charged with the murders. The story here is super interesting, but the writing in the first third or so is convoluted and poor. It evens out later, but as this is a reissue, I think it should have been reworked. Ultimately, I was really captured by it, so low pick for me.
#NetGalley #NonfictionNovember This was originally published as Bitter Almonds ( I wasn‘t aware) but there is an additional chapter as new developments have occurred since first publication. The first and last third of the book was FANTASTIC but sheesh, the middle section was so long winded & overly written. WAYYYY too much information and repetitive content. I‘m surprised the publisher didn‘t edit the book second go around. Good audio narration.
