Superb gripping page-turner
What starts out as a snatched baby case gradually evolves into so much more. The pasts of the abductor and the parents and their families are exposed and motives start to explain themselves.
It isn't often I will say this, and especially not during lockdown because I have really struggled with reading, but this is truly a page-turner. Many is the evening I ended up reading just one more chapter etc etc etc.
The pacing is superb, letting the story and character interactions and conflicts unfold organically. The reader is kept guessing almost throughout the whole book - some suspicions will be true, but so many will be surprises.
Excellently written crime fiction which develops well beyond the abduction of a baby.

Dirty John was a great podcast, so obviously, they created a show. I watched the show prior to listening to the podcast, but I have seen a couple of true crime specials on the story, so it wasn't a new case.


My main thought was, damn, this broad is dumb af. What the hell was wrong with her? I've only seen Connie Britton in American Horror Story, and she was dumb in that too. Maybe it's her MO, not sure. It just caused me to shake my head... A LOT.

Eric Bana was sufficiently creepy and charming. He was the best part of the whole series, and gave the strongest performance.

Would I watch it again? Probably not, but it was entertaining while I was watching it.

True crime is seemingly the only thing Netflix gets right the majority of the time. It obvious, from the beginning, who did it. This doc was a little different, utilizing posts and various texts to propel the stories.
To be honest, the mom was super annoying. She's definitely one of those people I would block all her posts on Facebook. It makes me incredibly uncomfortable when people obsessively post their kids online, and other personal business. It's icky. The dude seemed like a ticking time bomb, and half of me can't blame him.
It's stories like these that make me never want to get married or have a long-term partner. I did like that at the end, they posted the stats of murders by partners.
