Whether or not you know anything about the murder of Meredith Kercher and the ensuing legal circus surrounding Amanda Knox, you have to admit it makes for quite an interesting tale. Two college students studying abroad in Perguia, Italy. One is murdered. The other stands accused. It has all the makings of a Lifetime movie.
Somehow Nina Burleigh takes the twisted tale and examines it from all sides. She paints a full and complete picture of the girls' lives prior to the death of Kercher as well as the trials and media sensationalism that circles Knox. I devoured this book, I had to keep reminding myself while reading it that it is real.
Definitely a must read for anyone who has followed the story to any degree or anyone who enjoys reading true crime books.
Blogger Note: I received this book from the Blogging for Books program in exchange for an honest review. This review is entirely based on my opinion.
