The cover is interesting. A bit on the bland side as I probably wouldn't notice it at first glance. The blurb did not interest me in the least mainly because true crime is not my genre at all. And so a biography or memoir about someone who searches for answers in real-life crime cases doesn't really interest me. I did try the excerpt. I read the first few pages and if I hadn't already been turned off, this definitely would have done it. I don't know what the author (or the subject of the book since there seems to be another author involved) was trying to convey with the first three sentences. A bit of Sam Spade? It felt a bit film noir. Open black and white scene to a detective or private eye sitting in the dark in his office with a bottle of bourbon on his desk, case files spread around him. Regardless, this book should come with trigger warnings right on the cover. Hard pass.
