The whole story is told via a true crime investigator's podcasts/YouTube videos, police interviews, celebrity news reports, clips from Living With the Lancasters and other similar kinds of mixed media and the author has done an excellent job of conveying what's happening in this way. It also makes it really fast-paced read and one where I could cram in a bit more before having to lay my book down.
