An interesting nonfiction book about Alex Murdaugh the man convicted of shooting his wife and son. It involves lying, cheating, stealing, embezzlement, and a careless disregard of other people's lives. He was a member of a family law firm that was started by his grandfather and became part of "the good ole boys club". But he met his downfall because of his callousness toward other people. Mr. Lasdun writes this book to try to get an understanding of this man and his ruthless disregard for others. He accomplishes this through interviews with the police, Alex's victims and friends, attendance at the trial and Alex's sentencing hearing. He leaves the reader with enough evidence to decide for oneself if Alex is guilty or innocent.
