While Idaho Slept

The story feels both personal and meticulous — I wonder what drew the author to this unsolved crime and how they approached researching it.

There were moments where the detailed investigation slowed things down, but it also made the story more immersive. Curious if others felt the same or found it tedious.

Balancing detail and readability must be tricky in nonfiction crime stories. I’d love to know what influenced the choices about what to emphasize.
