Investigative journalist Laura Chambers is back in her tiny hometown of Hillsborough, North Carolina, the one place she swore never to return. Fired from The Boston Globe, her career in shambles, she reluctantly takes a job with the local paper. The work is simple, unimportant, and worst of all, boring - at least until a missing girl turns up dead, the body impeccably clean, dressed to be the picture of innocence. Years earlier, 10-year-old Patty Finch left home and never made it back. But for the people of Hillsborough, Patty was just the beginning.

Implausible Sharp Objects knockoff
Revisado: 10-05-20
I almost ditched this one halfway through. The first half especially seems like a knockoff of Sharp Objects. Author seems to have no real understanding of modern journalism, or how law enforcement should work. The ending is just dumb.

In this critically acclaimed true crime tale of "welfare queen" Linda Taylor, a Slate editor reveals a "wild, only-in-America story" of political manipulation and murder (Attica Locke, Edgar Award-winning author). Part social history, part true-crime investigation, Josh Levin's mesmerizing book, the product of six years of reporting and research, is a fascinating account of American racism, and an exposé of the "welfare queen" myth, one that fueled political debates that reverberate to this day.

I learned so much!!!
Revisado: 08-07-19
It's a fascinating, well told story that gives insight into the catastrophic changes made to the wellfare system by Reagan and subsequent presidents. The book gets a little slow in some places, but it's worth sticking with. I actually finished this book weeks ago and I'm still thinking and talking about it.
