A Crime in the Neighborhood

certainly an interesting lens on the titular crime (woman looking back on her reminiscences as a child) but the fact remains that there's...very little that actually goes on and not much at all about the crime aside from it happening and some discussion of the procedure. sometimes that can work but in this case i don't think it did entirely; there's also absolutely no resolution but that in my opinion doesn't hurt it because these cases sometimes don't HAVE a resolution, sad as it is

(also i couldn't stand the audiobook after hearing the narrator lick her lips and swallow like every .5 seconds. as someone with misophonia, no thank you)
