A Transfixing true crime quilt

I enjoyed this review of the Alias Grace limited series starring Sarah Gadson from James Poniewozik in the NY Times. (Which I absolutely loved by the way!)

I really liked these points to remind us that just because something comments on the "now," doesn't mean that is its only relevance (bias of being a history student).

Goodreads Rabbit Hole

Looking for new reads, I fell down some rabbit holes on Goodreads, including into this very specific and niche list... Massachusetts Murders !

I also enjoyed the description of New Bedford, Massachusetts in the blurb of the book Shallow Graves: The Hunt for the New Bedford Highway Serial Killer - by Maureen Boyle:

New Bedford, Massachusetts, an old fishing port known as the Whaling City, where Moby Dick, Frederick Douglass, textile mills, and heroin-dealing represent just a few of the many threads in the community's diverse fabric.

Good cover too, reminds me of True Detective, which I haven't watched yet (but want to), but the poster is similar.
