I find it strangely enough better than the usual crime stories that there're around these days. The true-ness limits the author, I think, into the amount of actual gore coming from the description of the subject matter. Take a recent movie Promising Young Woman (2020). It's indeed disturbing for some of us who have been victim of assault, or not. I have a nature to trying to please people and not being able to handle injustice and that stems from abuse when I was a child. I'm only mentioning this because I would go into the detail I'd never recount a story like there was in the movie. Sure, trauma debilitates but in general not at the measure that the person actually builts him- or herself into some sort of guide missile in order to get justice done. Here I go back to my earlier statement that true crime sticks more to the ground and that makes it better. Juistice is afterall not something to be done but seem to be done. The difference is there, I think :)
