Book Seventy-Seven: The Outsider
“A person did what a person could, whether it was setting up gravestones or trying to convince twenty-first-century men and women that there were monsters in the world, and their greatest advantage was the unwillingness of rational people to believe.” 
I’ve written about how Diane Downs really popped my true crime cherry. She taught me monsters aren’t just in Stephen King or Dean Koontz books; sometimes monsters are real and they walk among us looking like normal moms who like Duran Duran songs. 
Tumblr media
My true crime fascination was dormant until the Serial podcast premiered. At the time, I joked with a friend that listening to Serial made almost any job bearable. I listened to it while shoveling snow, cleaning my bathroom, driving ninety minutes to work... it consumed me. One afternoon I was listening to an episode, driving home and my daughter was asleep in the backseat. I pulled into my parking spot with ten minutes left to listen. When I finished the episode and turned the car off, I heard a tiny voice say, “Well? What about the cell phone towers?” My daughter was six at the time, and I’m pretty sure this was how she became true-crime obsessed as well. As I’m typing this, she’s upstairs listening to episodes of the Crime Junkie Podcast. I have no regrets. I have done my job as her mother.
Tumblr media
But, I digress. The first episode of Serial dealt with alibis, and remembering the timelines of our lives. If you didn’t have your phone next to you, could you tell me where you were two weeks ago on Tuesday? Who were you with? What did you do that could potentially provide you with an alibi in case you were accused of a crime? After listening to this first episode, I became obsessed with the idea of an alibi at all times. 
Tumblr media
And that brings us to The Outsider. 
Beloved Flint City little league coach Terry Maitland is publicly arrested and charged with the brutal murder and sodomy of little Frank Peterson. When the Flint City police arrest Terry at his team’s final game; they have eyewitnesses placing him at the crime scene, and his fingerprints. They’re also confident his DNA will be a match. Pretty open and shut, right?
Not so much.
Terry lawyers up, and presents the police with an airtight alibi: he was at a conference, and was even caught on-camera asking Harlan Coben a question. His fingerprints were even discovered at a shop he had stopped in while at the conference. It would have been impossible for him to commit the crime in the timeframe the police create. 
There has to be a logical explanation, right? 
Skinwalkers. 
Boom. 
The book is divided into two parts: the first half being the mystery behind Terry being in two places at one time. The second half, fan favorite Holly Gibney shows up, and helps track down and kill the skinwalker responsible for the murders of Frank Peterson, and other little children. 
The book is excellent. 
However. 
We have another Dahmer situation on our hands. Constant Readers remember my review of Everything’s Eventual, when I ripped into Steve for talking about Jeffrey Dahmer’s grave. #neverforget This time, Steve writes, “Hadn’t Jeffrey Dahmer believed he was creating zombies when he killed all those homeless men?” 
Dahmer’s victims were not homeless. Yes, they were on the fringe of society, and they were people whose disappearances were seldom investigated by police: immigrants, homosexuals, hitchhikers... but not all homeless. 
I’d like to issue an open invitation to Steve to come to Milwaukee and talk to me (socially distanced) about Dahmer. I’d really like to see him prevent these gaffes in the future. We could even take The Cream City Cannibal walking tour, and I’ll even spring for a Dahmer jersey (number 17, of course). 
Tumblr media
Other than the Dahmer issue, this was a solid book where the good guys are successful, and Holly is back to kick more ass. We have two Dark Tower references (ka, and the world moving on); and one Wisconsin mention... which I will stop griping about now.

FAVES - I preferiti di Febbraio 😍 ⠀ ⠀ Sul blog trovate una nuova rubrica dedicata ai preferiti del mese e, anche se un po' in ritardo, oggi vi parlo dei miei preferiti di febbraio! ⠀ ⠀ Come avrete capito dal post del Wrap Up di febbraio, non c'è stato un romanzo che mi ha colpito a tal punto da entrare a far parte dei preferiti, ma, nonostante questo, febbraio è stato un mese di scoperte molto interessanti e di eventi culturali magnifici 😍 ⠀ ⠀ Una di queste scoperte sono senz'altro i podcast, forme di intrattenimento che ho bistrattato sin'ora e che, adesso, mi tengono compagnia nei miei continui spostamenti da pendolare fuorisede! In foto, Serial, podcast del quale vi ho parlato tempo fa nelle storie e che continuo a consigliarvi se amate i True Crimes! ⠀ ⠀ Di questo e di tanto altro vi parlo sul blog (link diretto in bio)! ⠀ ⠀ E voi, cosa avete amate del vostro febbraio? Avete scoperto nuovi romanzi imperdibili? Suggeritemene qualcuno, vista la scarsità di titoli interessanti di febbraio... ⠀ ⠀ #faves #preferitidelmese #ipreferitidifebbraio #serialpodcast #serial #podcast #libribelli #consiglidilettura #carnevaledivenezia2019 #serietv #jessicajones #tadakunkoiwoshinai #anime #bookstagramitalia #letture (presso United States) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu8Lry4nZpX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lsxokfwbykmy

Season 3 is outperforming season 2. Episode 2 I was jaw on the floor the whole time. Episode 3 had me screaming and yelling in my car. Luckily no one was with me for my commute. Taking a little time before I bite off Episode 4 based on some tweets warning that it was going to be even heavier than Episode3. Be sure your entire emotional bandwidth is available for this one.
