Book Review⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5’s

Thank you to @randomhouse, @prhaudio and @valerie.bauerlein for the #gifted book/audiobook.

I was completely intrigued by this book! True crime always captivates me, and this one was no exception. Valerie Bauerlein masterfully unravels the shocking downfall of Alex Murdaugh, a man who betrayed so many, stealing from the very people who trusted him. The depth of corruption in this story is staggering, and the author does an excellent job of exposing every layer.

At nearly 500 pages, this book is packed with detail, yet it never feels overwhelming. Bauerlein’s research is impeccable, and her cinematic writing makes it all so easy to follow. The narrative flows effortlessly, pulling readers straight into the heart of the scandal without wasting a moment. From the very first pages, she dives into Murdaugh’s despicable acts, making it impossible to put the book down.

For anyone fascinated by true crime, corruption, and justice, The Devil at His Elbow is a must-read. It’s a gripping, well-written, and thoroughly researched account of one of the most shocking legal dramas in recent history.
