dark informative mysterious sad slow-paced

3.75

Its a very detail-oriented true crime book, and it made me think about how religion and homophobia kept people's mouth's shut even if it meant leaving Danny in harms way. The way the gay people in the book is written about feels dated, if that is something that is going to bother you. However, I appreicate the author's efforts in laying out every detail from the case - I will be reading more from him.
