Jane: A Murder by Maggie Nelson

dark emotional sad fast-paced

4.0

The author explores the story of her aunt’s murder, a case gone decades cold, through a collection of poems, dreams, news sources, and diary entries from the victim herself. I was skeptical at first, but the experience of this book was a beautiful thing I’d recommend to anyone with the stomach for it. “True crime” as a genre be damned. But this book earned its existence with heart and humanity.
