Erika (17789 KP) rated Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators in Books

Mar 28, 2020 (Updated Mar 28, 2020)

Going into this book, I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get into it or not. I haven't actually read Ronan Farrow's articles in general, so I didn't know how his writing style was. Journalistic writing is sometimes hit or miss in book form.

Honestly, now I'll read his articles. This book encompassed the Weinstein scandal, and other creeps like him. It was thorough, and engaging throughout. In the author's note, it is stated that the violence these women were subjected to was presented exactly how they told it, with all the details. My stomach hurt after reading the descriptions, and I read very violent Nordic Noir novels. I like being presented with everything, so while it made my stomach hurt, I feel like it was all completely necessary as part of this story.

I also really liked his journey to get this published, and now... honestly, I don't even want to watch NBC News (as I sit here watching Dateline).

This is, by far, one of the best books that I've read this year.

Kudos

Broken Masterpiece by Tee Smith ~~FREE~ Limited time only.

When nothing makes sense, who do you trust?

With no memory of her past, Charlie has no choice but to cling to what she knows, and what she’s been told. But what if none of that is real?

Desperate for answers, she searches for remnants of the life she had. Her last memory was more than ten years ago. She has a husband who loves her, a nice home in the suburbs, but she can’t shake the feeling he is hiding something.

What if everyone she trusts have their own agenda?

As her memory returns and the lies become known, there is no way of going back.

Sometimes not knowing the truth can be a blessing, rather than a curse.

Broken Masterpiece is a story of violence, manipulation and above all else, survival.
