@eddy_sarah Thank you so much, Sarah!!

[Sarah Edwards @eddy_sarah]

Endorsement: been listening to “Catch the Devil” by @pamelacolloff on audiobook and have to keep pausing it bc how astonishing the reporting is—on the scourge of prosecutorial political ambition but also military PTSD, how many women have been scammed by men, and much more.

[Adam Loewy @LoewyLawFirm]

This is one of the best books I’ve read this decade.

It should win a Pulitzer.

Bravo to @pamelacolloff 👏

[Pamela Colloff @pamelacolloff]

@bshelburne Beth!! Thank you for getting how hard this was. Your words mean everything to me. THANK YOU. 😭

[Pamela Colloff @pamelacolloff]

@prempanicker Prem, I'm late in thanking you for this and for so clearly understanding what I meant!!

[Beth Shelburne @bshelburne]

Just finished this master class in true crime & justice reporting by @pamelacolloff & I can't recall a book with a more devastating ending. 💔 There is so much in this story that I will think about it for a long time, especially Jim Dailey on Florida's death row. #mustread

🖊️✍️🏽Pamela Collof (@pamelacolloff) on listening, taking time, and respect for the people you're interviewing:

"For me it’s spending enough time with people that I feel like I have the right to describe what I’m describing in a story, and to tell their story in a somewhat omniscient way, that their voice comes in when they say something unique in the way that they phrased it, or makes you suck in your breath."
