I love Gregg Olson for the most part, I mean he’s a law and order type who often forgets the justice system can’t operate on the assumption of guilt but, I love the way he weaves narrative and meticulous research so I can usually ignore any overt right-wing leanings.
He’s interviewed so many victims you can’t really blame him for developing a less than holistic view of justice.
But this book’s tone was so sexist I had a difficult time understanding the true character of the murderer.
The married men she slept with are never held accountable for their part, he excessively uses ugly words like slut & bitch (seemingly not just in quotes) and none of it is necessary.
She does so many other, more incriminating, ugly things that “promiscuity” would’ve been a fine descriptor. The word he used to describe women with that behavior before.
I’ll still love you and I just bought Abandoned Prayers but, come on Gregg…this was disappointing.
