Bone Deep: Untangling the Betsy Faria Case

Audiobook: Narrator - Gary Bennett Mr. Bennett did an exceptional job with this narration. His voice was clear, precise and easy to follow while also enjoyable. This had the feeling of listening to a podcast but so much better as I’m not a fan of podcasts. Not sure how much was this narrator and how much was the story, but I was pulled into this story immediately and was reluctant to pause it when needed. I enjoy true crime stories, mysteries where there’s a twist, a wrong turn by investigators, injustices corrected so the injured party is proven to be innocent not only in court but in the eyes of society. Unfortunately, living in an area so rural there is no cable, no internet, and even antenna reception is so spotty that I quit trying to watch tv years ago, my exposure to current events such as this is extremely limited. I wanted to listen to this book because of the title and the blurb. After listening for a short time, I was so intrigued, I googled Betsy Faria on my phone and was blasted with page after page regarding this case. I didn’t have a clue!!! I quickly shut it all down, dove into this audiobook and found myself ranting and raving at investigators (should they really be called that?) and eventually prosecutors and judges. I wanted to remain unbiased towards Pam Hupp, but it was impossible. This was such a huge miscarriage of justice and I found myself furious as this story continued to unfold. While this is co written by one of the defense lawyers, and I fought to remain skeptical regarding evidence, it was impossible to not see the errors, the total ignorance and the injustices that were let loose in this case. I was pulled into this every step of the way. This was totally addicting and a real struggle to stop when life demanded I do so. My mind refused to let it go until I was able to click that play button again. I was completely engulfed in this case due to the way it was written/narrated. I was able to follow along while keeping the clues, or lack thereof, straight in my mind as this lays it out in a style that made it easy to do so. I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for all of those involved in this case.
