The Grim Sleeper: The Lost Women of South Central by Christine Pelisek
3.0
I read this as part of IG's #bookishtruecrime. I know that once the book was announced for September, I wanted to read it so much. I grew up close to the area that the killings took place so right away. I think it was just the writer's style that I just did not click with. I finished it because I switched to audio and there were some really good parts, but I just thought the author's writing style was very dry.
I am really happy that Pelisek gave these Black women a voice. It was really sad to read how a case like Natalee Holloway was all over the news and how the media completely skipped over the killings of numerous Black women. For very obvious reasons the police didn’t want Pelisek writing about the victims.
