So I read this book today and then walked solo to my car and I have to say.. I kinda creeped myself out thinking about all the people who could potentially be in this windows watching if something happened to me and what they‘d do. But this book was really good. I learned a lot about Kitty and her killer and the people who witnessed the crime (spoiler: probably not 38). It was excellent.

Tamra I always have my students reflect on her tragic story for the first discussion assignment in my ethics course. 5y
audraelizabeth There is a documentary on netflix about her story. It was excellent. Her brother looked into her case. 5y
