Story4.5 out of 5 stars 600
In the early morning hours of August 13, 2018, Shanann Watts was dropped off at her Frederick, Colorado, home by a colleague after returning from a business trip. It was the last time anyone would see her alive. By the next day, Shanann and her two young daughters, Bella and Celeste, had been reported missing, and her husband, Chris Watts, was appearing on the local news, pleading for his family's safe return. But Chris Watts already knew that he would never see his family again. Less than 24 hours after his desperate plea, Watts made a shocking confession to police.

Seemed to victim blame

First half of the book was all about blaming Shanann. Only negative comments about her from Chris and his parents. No positive comments from her friends and family. Nothing remotely negative about Chris.
Second half still seemed to talk negative about Shanann, but did talk negative about Chris as well.
I understand trying to “report the facts”. Shanann may have liked to be in control and be in charge, but none of her positive qualities were reported. Only negative things.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 53
In Sworn to Silence, award-winning reporter Jim Tracy tells the lawyers' story within the framework of a true crime narrative. He uncovers a criminal who police and the public never learned was an American serial killer. Tracy does so while taking the listener back briefly to American life in the early 1970s.

Good book, bad narrator.
Reviewed: 10-20-23
Book was thorough, and great.
Narration was an upbeat, monotone. Seemed to be read as one long run on sentence- hard to tell the difference between two people talking. Had to slow to .85 to understand the conversations. Read with little care for victims or families.
