Publisher's Summary
"Highly recommended on audio for listeners seeking true-crime with a focus on structural inequities, survivors, and artfully crafted narratives."—Booklist
“The best story I’ve read in a long, long time."—Lacy Crawford, author of Notes on a Silencing
“Krouse’s vivid and original memoir is state of the art. Tell Me Everything is our new standard.”—Charles D’Ambrosio, author of Loitering
Part memoir and part literary true crime, Tell Me Everything is the mesmerizing story of a landmark sexual assault investigation and the female private investigator who helped crack it open.
Erika Krouse has one of those faces. “I don’t know why I’m telling you this,” people say, spilling confessions. In fall 2002, Erika accepts a new contract job investigating lawsuits as a private investigator. The role seems perfect for her, but she quickly realizes she has no idea what she’s doing. Then a lawyer named Grayson assigns her to investigate a sexual assault, a college student who was attacked by football players and recruits at a party a year earlier. Erika knows she should turn the assignment down. Her own history with sexual violence makes it all too personal. But she takes the job anyway, inspired by Grayson’s conviction that he could help change things forever. And maybe she could, too.
Over the next five years, Erika learns everything she can about P. I. technique, tracking down witnesses and investigating a culture of sexual assault and harassment ingrained in the university’s football program. But as the investigation grows into a national scandal and a historic civil rights case, Erika finds herself increasingly consumed. When the case and her life both implode at the same time, Erika must figure out how to help win the case without losing herself.

Absolutely Riveting
I had to refrain from binging this book in one sitting. This is storytelling at its best: weaving in memoir, detective work and tangents that add layers to the story. I would read anything that Erika Krause writes and I hope she writes again, whether fiction or nonfiction. Highly recommended!
