“This is a true-crime story about the Green Beret, Jeffrey MacDonald, who was convicted of killing his wife and kids. It’s a celebrated book, and it was one that had me up at night walking around, because it’s so disturbing. Awful, awful, awful! It’s about the darkness in humanity. All I can do is to suggest that you read it.”↗
