The following is the publisher's summary for The Making of a Massacre by Ginger Thompson from Audible:

A timely subject. Did you learn things you did not know before?
ReplyDeleteYes and no... This was a more in depth view on how one specific border town between the US and Mexico was effected by one of the drug cartels in Mexico with very devastating/deadly consequences. Learning the details are as horrifying as one would expect from this topic as they get.
