NOTES
"The explosive story of O'Keefe's death, and the subsequent accusation and trial of his girlfriend Karen Read, ignited one of the most high-profile true crime mysteries in decades. The apparently open-and-shut manslaughter case quickly devolved into a chaotic mixture of lies, institutional corruption, and police cover-ups that threw the Massachusetts law enforcement scene into turmoil. And Read's 2025 acquittal left O'Keefe's death an unresolved mystery, with more questions than answers. With dramatic twists including a rogue journalist, a mistrial, and polarizing public protests--along with revelations that called several other murder cases into question--Blizzard of Lies is a Boston-area veteran reporter's detailed and immersive account of one of the most controversial crime stories of his career" -- Provided by publisher
