Book: Tell Me Everything

 Book: Tell Me Everything

Author: Erika Krouse

Pages: 288

This is my 65th read for the year

This is the story of the author.  She has just accepted a new job as a private investigator.  Mostly hired because she has one of those faces that causes people to tell her things, a lawyer named Grayson hires her to investigate a sexual assult case at a college campus.  Erika knows she shouldn't take this case with her own past with sexual violence.   Over 5 years she investigates the case and as it gains national attention her own life implodes.  She becomes consumed with the case and the relationship she has with her mother that is hanging by a string in hopes that solving this case with give her some meaning.

This was an okay book.  It was going pretty well until Erika took a dive into her own personal story that took up a large part of this book.  While I know she was trying to tie her personal experience with what is happening with the victims in her case, it seems out of place.  To me that should have been its own book and the focus of this book should have been on the case and the victims instead of Erika's own past.  So for that it lost a star.

Stars: 3.5
