Welcome to Litsy!

Interesting true crime. Not sure how this landed on my radar but it was very interesting and well written.

If you are an animal lover DO NOT watch the first episode of this docuseries. I will fill in any blanks you may have. You‘re welcome. It ended with the question of whether the amateur sleuths that helped track this guy down were complicit in his crimes, and if true crime fans (specifically the ones who watched the documentary they made) were also complicit in their crimes. It was a very weird turn at the end of this thing. Any thoughts on this?

Although I enjoyed this book quite a lot, the title is misleading. The actual escape is only covered in maybe the last 50 pages or so of the book. The rest of it is a history of Alcatraz with a focus on its use as a prison. What makes this book so interesting as a historical document is that it was written while Alcatraz was still operational.

I‘ve always admired Paul Holes and the work he‘s done. It‘s sad to read about how it effected his home life but his job is a HUGE part of who he is. I cried when the Michelle chapter came up, I knew she would get brought up but didn‘t realize she would be getting a chapter (with good reason 😭) Such an amazing book ❤️

One of my favourite book swaps! Thank you, thank you @ShelleyBooksie for the tag 🫶👻🎃 @MaleficentBookDragon

This book tells the story of how the rape kit came into being and gives proper credit for its invention to Marty Goddard, a forgotten advocate for women and victims of sexual assault in Chicago. The author then takes on the task of trying to locate Ms. Goddard to give her the credit she is due. The book ends by looking at the sexism and issues sexual assault survivors still face today and looks at how things continue to evolve in modern times.

I gotta be true to myself - I can‘t read this. It‘s this 1900s murders that just were boring poisons and doesn‘t get enough into the dynamics to make me care about their stories enough. I don‘t want to read this

As I have found in just about every investigation I have looked at, a very plausible suspect always turns up who is not the culprit.

didn't really find out anything new. It was in-depth and well researched. There was more on the whole investigation and how things came together. It was written in July, before he took a plea.
