There is true crime and there is true crime. The latter is a genre that evolved from the former - away from a sensational piece about a horrendous crime to a novel, podcast or TV show that almost entirely concentrates on the victims and the impact a crime can have. The perpetrator is nothing but a background character who is getting almost no stage at all. I personally like this style or genre more, because it is a bit more filled with life, hope and maybe justice too. The true crime genre took a life of its own and everyone tried to cash in with a piece about someone, or so it seems with all those books, TV shows on netflix and podcasts. This book showed me that I am so tired about this (and I also probably am not in the best mental state because everything kind of got to me very closely while listening to the audiobook during my commute, but that is another story). What I enjoyed about this book was the thorough research that obviously went into the writing of this book. It was detailed and went deep into the hunt and interrogation of the perpetrator. It was frustrating at times because the justice system is rigged and full of corruption. The showing of that flawed system in Alaska and the US makes the book good, in a certain way. It offers no solutions, but that is not needed in a non-fiction novel like that. What I didn't like was the rest. A focus on the serial killer, but not much focus on law enforcement and the victims. Well, to be fair, that book was fine. Shocking in the worst parts, but fine otherwise and sometimes just one-sided. I may take a long long break from true crime now. I think I won't miss anything.
