Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland | Patrick Radden Keefe

pick

Sp good! Was worried it was gonna be super dry history but absolutely loved. Has great pacing and follows characters in a really readable way. Fascinating history and comes right up into the 2010s, demonstrating how this history is still reverberating.

Larrimah might not delight the true crime purists who need to see a bad guy locked up for life, but it will enthrall anyone with an interest in the outback, tall tales, and/or the search for answers. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/larrimah-caroline-graham-kylie-stevenson/

My Dark Places | James Ellroy

#DynamicDs #Dark James Ellroys mother Jean was found murdered in suburban LA , left by the side of the road , murderer never found , case closed . James was only 10. He feels that his obsession with his mom‘s memory is largely responsible for his crime novels set in L.A. This book is part memoir , part story of Ellroy working with Detective Bill Stoner to see if even so many years later there is something to be learned about the case.

If You Tell: A True Story of Murder, Family Secrets, and the Unbreakable Bond of Sisterhood | Gregg Olsen

pick

This book was so heartbreaking. So many times I just sat there with my mouth open wondering what the hell?! Wondering how can these people do the things they did. And the fact that they‘re out of jail now is disturbing. How can they be allowed out after all they did?! The murders and torture they did. I‘m still sitting here just shocked. This book will stick with me for a very long time.

The House of My Mother: A Daughter's Quest for Freedom | Shari Franke

pick

😳, I unfortunately think we‘re at the start of kids telling their stories of living in a household that broadcast to YouTube of other online media sources. There are so many ethical dilemmas that go along with these situations (some of which Franke discusses in her book). The passing of the 2018 Free Range Parenting law in Utah has made it close to impossible for DSS to investigate cases of child abuse since the law is so vague. I can‘t imagine

ncsufoxes the countless kids that will be missed (although even without laws like this many kids fall through the cracks). I need to watch the show on Hulu about the family & this case now. (I don‘t follow influencers or families like this on YT, I don‘t really want to watch people exploiting their kids when the kids don‘t have a say in any of it). 1w

AmyG Free Range Parenting? Or when I grew up….parenting. This was a crazy, sad story. (edited) 1w

ncsufoxes @AmyG, the law was designed to give kids more freedom but it‘s probably had a more negative impact. Franke called DSS multiple times over 4 years & each time they couldn‘t press charges. It wasn‘t until they saw actual physical signs of abuse that they could press charges. Meanwhile these kids were psychologically abused for years (which has adverse health implications in the long term). 1w

AmyG Yes, I listened to the book. My heart broke for her and her siblings. I can only hope they got the help they needed and can go on to fulfilling lives. 1w
