This book was extremely well executed and researched. My 3.5-star rating is based on the fact that it was a dark, depressing, horrifying slug through reality. If you enjoy true crime, you will likely enjoy this book detailing the horrific events of small-town Italy. If you want to skip some of the "did they or didn't they" angst from the first half-two thirds of the book, then Spoilers:

It takes until about 40% of the book for the author to hint that they do not believe the children were abused. By 60%, these are becoming less hints and more direct statements. By 80%, you are sure that the abuse was completely falsified... lies. And you finish the book wondering how this could have happened. With the time that has passed, we get some resolution of things, but you are still left with the horror of the families destroyed and the people that died.

Not my usual genre; I got this as a Kindle First pick. I had to finish it once I started to know how everything worked out but spent a lot of the first half of the book with my jaw clenched tight. Just know your own reading preferences when you decide whether or not to start this one. It is, as I said, very well done, just very uncomfortable subject matter.
