The book is "a cunningly fictionalized" version of a 1931 crime story in which Winnie Ruth Judd was convicted of the murder of two women in Los Angeles.[1]The Denver Post notes, "Much of the narrative sticks closely to the facts of the case, but the author imagines a vastly different ending, just as plausible but certainly more satisfying than the actual one."[1]
Reception
Bury Me Deep was generally well-received by critics, including a starred review from Kirkus Reviews, who noted, "Abbott takes readers on a wild thrill ride with an utterly believable and strangely sympathetic heroine."[2]
Publishers Weekly called the novel "well-crafted" but warned, "Readers should be prepared for a lot of backstory before the pace picks up and hurtles to a shocking ending."[3]
